O Lord, to whom the spirits live
Of all the faithful passed away,
Unto their path that brightness give
Which shineth to the perfect day:
O Lamb of God, Redeemer blest,
Grant them eternal light and rest.


Bless thou the dead that die in thee;
As thou hast given them release,
So quicken them thy face to see,
And give them everlasting peace:
O Lamb of God, Redeemer blest,
Grant them eternal light and rest.

Direct us with thine arm of might,
And bring us, prefected with them,
To dwell within thy city bright,
The heavenly Jerusalem:
O Lamb of God, Redeemer blest,
Grant them eternal light and rest.
