Verse 1

O Lord of life, where’er they be, Safe in Your own eternity, Now live Your children gloriously. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

All souls You call, both here or there, Do rest within Your sheltering care; One providence alike they share: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Your Word is true, Your ways are just; Above the chanted, “Dust to dust,” Shall rise our song of grateful trust: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Verse 4

Happy are they in God who rest, No more by fear and doubt oppressed, Living or dying, they are blest: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
