John Ellerton - Manoling Francisco, SJ
When the day of toil is done, when the race of life is run,
Father, grant Thy wearied one: Rest forevermore.
When the strife of sin is stilled, when the foe within is killed,
Be Thy gracious word fulfilled: Peace forevermore!
When the darkness melts away, at the breaking of the day.
Bid us hail the cheering ray: Light forevermore.
When the heart of sorrow tried, feels at length its throb subside,
Bring us where all tears are dried: Joy forevermore.
When for vanished days we yearn; days that never can return,
Teach us in Thy love to learn: Love forevermore.
When the breath of life is flown, when the grave must claim its own,
Lord of Life, be ours, Thy glorious crown:
Life forevermore! Life forevermore!
