JOB iii. 13, 17, 18, 19.

How still and peaceful is the grave!
There, life's vain tumults past,

Th' appointed house, by heav'n's decree,
Receives us all at last.

The wicked there from troubling cease,
Their passions rage no more;
And there the weary pilgrim rests
From all the toils he bore.

There rests the pris'ners, now releas'd
From slav'ry's sad abode;

No more they hear the oppressor's voice,
Or dread the tyrant's rod.
There servants, masters, small and great,
Partake the same repose;

And there in peace the ashes mix

Of those who once were foes.

All, levell'd by the hand of death,

Lie sleeping in the tomb,

Till God in judgment calls them forth
To meet their final doom.

[EBDON.
