- 1O, for the death of those
- Who slumber in the Lord!
- O, be like theirs my last repose,
- Like theirs my last reward!
- 2Their bodies in the ground
- In silent hope may lie,
- Till the last trumpet's joyful sound
- Shall call them to the sky.
- 3Then ransomed they will soar
- On wings of faith and love.
- To meet the Saviour they adore,
- And reign with him above.
- 4With us their names shall live
- Through the remaining years,
- Embalmed with all our hearts can give
- Our praises and our tears.
- 5O, for the death of those
- Who slumber in the Lord!
- O, be like theirs my last repose,
- Like theirs my last reward!
