Hymn 785
Now the labourer's task is over
mp Now the labourer's task is o'er.
Now the battle - day is past: cr Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
There the tears of earth are dried:
There its hidden things are clear:
d1There the work of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here.
mt There the Shepherd, bringing home
Many lamb forlorn and stray'd di Shelters each, no more to roam.
Where the wolf can ne'er invade,
mf There the penitents who turn
To the cross their dying eyes
cf All the love of Jesus learn
At His feet in paradise. .
mf There no more the pow'rs of hell
Can prevail to mar their peace
Christ the Lord shall guard them well.
He who died for their release.
pp Earth to earth, and dust to dust!
Calmly now the words we say:
Let behind, we wait in trust Cr For the resurrection day.
