Verse 1
Dismiss’d, I calmly go my way
Which leads me to the tomb,
And rest in hope of that great day
When my desire shall come:
Happy, with those that first arise,
Might I my lot obtain,
When Christ descending from the skies
Begins his glorious reign.
Verse 2
An end of all these earthly things
Shall I not wake to see?
And wilt not thou, O King of kings,
Appoint a throne for me?
I lay me down at thy command,
But soon to life restor’d,
I trust on the new earth to stand
Before my heavenly Lord.
