Why Am I Sad And Dreary

Why am I Sad and Dreary?
2175

Why am I sad and dreary?
Why does my heart grow weary?
What, then, but this can cheer me,
I soon shall rest in heaven

Chorus-
When this poor body lles slumbering in the tomb
And soft winds gently sigh o’er its quiet home
And strange, sweet flowers in beauty o’er it bloom,
My soul shall rest in heaven
Glory, glory hallelujah!
Glory, glory hallelujah!
Glory, glory hallelujah!
To God who reigns on high

What, then of tribulation?
What then of sore temptation?
Be this my consolation,
I soon shall be in heaven

Then shall my happy spirit
Sing of my Savior’s merit
Then shall my soul inherit
A home, a rest in heaven

Oh brother, shall I meet you?
Oh sister er, shall I greet you?
Then, sinner, shall I see you
Among the blest in heaven?
