Lyrics

In our day of thanksgiving
one psalm let us offer
for the saints who before us
have found the reward;
when the shadow of death
fell upon them, we sorrowed,
but now we rejoice
that they rest in the Lord

In the morning of life,
and at noon, and at evening,
they were gathered to heav'n
from our worship below;
but not before God's love
at the font and the altar,
had clothed them with grace
for the way they should go.

Common stones that have echoed
their praises are holy,
and the dust of the ground
where their feet have once trod;
yet in this place confessed
they were stargers and pilgrims,
and still they were seeking
the city of God.

Sing praise, then, and thanks
that God's love here has found them
whose journey is ended,
whose perils are past;
they believed in the light;
and its glory is round them,
where the clouds of earth’s
sorrows are lifted at last.
