Original text and translations

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!

Lyrics: Fred­er­ick L. Hos­mer, 1888;
