Rest Now Mary Reat now Mary rest now and sleep well The final signal the ringing of a steeple bell Near journeys end and the lights are now dim The long road traveled the outro of a church hymn The road that you traveled was hard at any pace But somehow you managed it with heart and grace Your spirit, your warmth, your caring for others Was one gifts of many you gave my sisters and brothers Its with a heavy heart that for now we must part For it was your voice that I heard right from the start When I cried it was your hand thats wiped my tears You steadied my nightmares and cleansed my fears Rest now Mary rest now and sleep well The grief and tears fills the room where I dwell eclipsed only by your memory and spirit of the living God as you pass through the gate as he gives you the nod So rest now mama rest as your close your eyes The sense of loss the pain my grieving heart cries Many lessons you taught to guard from the earthly harms You rest now in our fathers loving arms So rest now mother rest and have peace in your soul And though your earthly shell withers and grows cold the seeds you planted in the ground long ago Grow wild in the fields in natures places high and low So rest now mother rest now mama and as you sleep I steady my voice as my heart slowly start to weep But It is your ever glowing spirit rising higher and higher Lifted by A multitude of voices from Gods heavenly choir So rest now mama as you move to the higher place Bathed in our Lords warmth and loving grace Rest mama rest my darling mother rest for all is well Rest mama..... Rest mama for all is well Chris Elmore Mary Elmore 1924-2014
