When the day of toil is done,

when the race of life is run,

rest forever-more.

Be Thy gracious Word fulfilled:

Peace forevermore!

Verse 3

Teach us in Thy love to learn,
Eb         Eb/F-Bb-Dm/G
Love forever-more.

when the grave must claim its own,

Lord of life, be ours, Thy glorious crown:
F/G    E7     Am-Am/G-D/F#-Fm6-C/G
Life forevermore!

Life forevermore!
