"REST NOW"
No rnore sorrow will be mine; No more burdens will I bear. No more heartaches will I endure, Weighted down with endless care.
REST NOW!
While here on earth I did my best; A friend to all I tried to be. This day, no regrets I have. While you're here, look at me. REST NOW!
No more will I fret and worry About what a day might bring.
I go now to a city Where God's holy Angels sing.
REST NOW!
