603. Giver of Life, Where'er They Be

1 Giver of life, where’er they be,
safe in thine own eternity,
now live your children gloriously.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 All souls you call, both here and there,
do rest within your sheltering 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 blessed:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
