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.

3 Thy word is true, thy ways are just;
above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
shall rise our song of grateful trust.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

no more by fear and doubt oppressed;
living or dying, they are blest.
