Safe in thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto thee.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 All souls are thine, and here or there,
The faithful rest within thy 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.
