Lyrics
Verse 1
Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow,
But hope from God's promises borrow
Beware in thy sorrow, of sinning
For death is of life the beginning.
Verse 2
The body is shrouded in mourning;
The garlands, the casket adorning,
Are emblems of hope that betoken,
O Death, that thy power is broken.
Verse 3
A dearly belov'd one hath left us;
God hath in His Wisdom bereft us;
But He will not leave us forsaken,
We know that the dead shall awaken.
Verse 4
When dawneth the glorious morrow,
This body that we view with sorrow,
A glorified form shall be given,
Restored to its spirit in heaven.
Verse 5
The seed that in springtime is planted,
Is hid in the ground, but if granted
A measure of sunshine and showers,
Will spring into fruitage and flowers;
Verse 6
A gift to the churchyard we tender,
As dust to the dust we surrender;
Returning the clay to its Maker,
We lay it to rest in God's acre.
Verse 7
A soul in that body abided,
A soul that in Jesus confided,
A soul that hath longed for salvation,
And now hath found hope's consummation.
Verse 8
O earth, we consign to thy keeping
This body with sorrow and weeping;
In peace to await resurrection,
When it shall arise in perfection.
Verse 9
O Christ, our soul's Maker and Lover;
When time and earth's travail are over,
Thou closest the grave's mournful story,
And callest Thine own to Thy glory....
