==Lyrics from [[A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844]]==
 
1. There is an hour of peaceful rest,<br>
 
To mourning wand'rers giv'n:<br>
 
There is a tear for souls distressed,<br>
 
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast -<br>
 
'Tis found alone - in heav'n.
 
 
 
2. There is a home for weary souls,<br>
 
By sins and sorrows driv'n;<br>
 
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,<br>
 
Where storms arise - and ocean rolls,<br>
 
And all is drear - but heav'n.
 
 
 
3. There faith lifts up the tearless eye,<br>
 
The heart with anguish riv'n;<br>
 
It views the tempest passing by,<br>
 
Sees ev'ning shadows quickly fly,<br>
 
And all serene - in heav'n.
 
 
 
4. There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom,<br>
 
And joys supreme are giv'n;<br>
 
There rays divine disperse the gloom;<br>
 
Beyond the dark and narrow tomb,<br>
 
Appears the dawn - of heav'n.
 
 
 
==Lyrics from [[An American Anthology, 1787 - 1900]]<ref>http://www.bartleby.com/248/144.html</ref>, 1900==
 
1. There is an hour of peaceful rest<br>
 
To mourning wanderers given;<br>
 
There is a joy for souls distrest,<br>
 
A balm for every wounded breast,<br>
 
’Tis found alone in heaven.
 
 
 
2. There is a soft, a downy bed,<br>
 
Far from these shades of even—<br>
 
A couch for weary mortals spread,<br>
 
Where they may rest the aching head,<br>
 
And find repose, in heaven.
 
 
 
3. There is a home for weary souls<br>
 
By sin and sorrow driven;<br>
 
When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,<br>
 
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,<br>
 
And all is drear but heaven.
 
 
 
4. There faith lifts up her cheerful eye,<br>
 
To brighter prospects given;<br>
 
And views the tempest passing by,<br>
 
The evening shadows quickly fly,<br>
 
And all serene in heaven.
 
 
 
5. There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,<br>
 
And joys supreme are given;<br>
 
There rays divine disperse the gloom:<br>
 
Beyond the confines of the tomb<br>
 
Appears the dawn of heaven.
