1 God of the living, in whose eyes
Unveiled your whole creation lies,
All souls are yours; we must not say
That those are dead who pass away,
From this our world of flesh set free;
We know they live eternally.

2 Released from earthly toil and strife,
With you is hidden still their life;
Yours are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
All yours, and yet most truly ours,
For well we know, where'er they be,
Our dead now live eternally.

3 Your word is true, your will is just;
To you we leave them, Lord, in trust;
And bless you for the love which gave
Your Son to fill a human grave,
That none might fear that world to see
Where all do live eternally.

Amen.
