My great grandmother sang this at the funeral of former slave William (Billy) Smith in Peterboro in 1923. I think it might actually have been the hymn "And is There, Lord, a Rest?" but that it was called by some people "Rest in Heaven." I've already found the words but can't find the music.

Thanks, Cornelia I also got at least 2 more hits on Google Books. I should have remembered to try that.
