1 Hark! a voice divides the sky:
Happy are the faithful dead,
In the Lord who sweetly die;
They from all their toils are freed.
Happy are the faithful dead,
In the Lord who sweetly die;
They from all their toils are freed.
2 Them the Spirit hath declared
Blest, unutterably blest;
Jesus is their great Reward,
Jesus is their endless Rest.
Blest, unutterably blest;
Jesus is their great Reward,
Jesus is their endless Rest.
3 Followed by their works, they go
Where their Head had gone before;
Reconciled by grace below,
Grace hath opened mercy’s door.
Where their Head had gone before;
Reconciled by grace below,
Grace hath opened mercy’s door.
4 Justified through faith alone,
Here they knew their sins forgiven;
Here they laid their burden down,
Hallowed and made meet for heaven.
Here they knew their sins forgiven;
Here they laid their burden down,
Hallowed and made meet for heaven.
