Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
Rest in peace
Rest in the Lord
Rest in love
Rejoicing with the saints
VERSE 1
O rest from your life's anxieties
O rest from your sleepless nights
O rest from your struggle with sin
O come and rest in Christ.
VERSE 2
O now that your toils and tears are gone,
Now that the ills that plague you flee,
Now that your cross turns into crown
O come and rest in Christ.
VERSE 3
O now that death parts us with thee
O now we look with gloomy eyes
As we wait our resurrection
We wish you rest in Christ.
VERSE 4
O may God your creator in His mercy
Look with favour on your good deeds
And blot out all your human failings
And grant you rest in Christ.
VERSE 5
May Christ whom you proclaim'd to men
Now proclaim you to God and angels
And give you place among the saints
Who now rejoice in Christ.
