1 O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in your own eternity,
Now live your children glor'ously.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 All souls you call, both here or there,
Do rest within your shelt'ring care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 Your word is true, your ways are just;
Above the chanted “Dust to dust”
Shall rise our song of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 Happy are they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed;
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
