English text
- 1.
- O Lord of life, where’er they be,
- Safe in Thine own eternity,
- Our dead are living unto Thee:
- Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
- 2.
- All souls are Thine, and here or there
- They rest within Thy sheltering care;
- One providence alike they share:
- Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
- 3.
- Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
- Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
- Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
- Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
- 4.
- O happy they in God who rest,
- No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
- Living or dying, they are blest:
- Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
