1. Eternal rest grant them, we pray
and shine the light of endless day.
Appoint for them a place with those
who in you died and in you rose.

2. Lord Jesus Christ, our Glorious King,
protect their souls from suffering.
Deliver them from darkness deep,
and give the angels guard to keep.

3. Receive our prayer and offering,
the tears we shed, the songs we sing.
Accept our sacrifice today
to aid the souls for whom we pray.

4. With them, and with us, Lord be near.
To you we cry, bend down your ear:
For in your mercy there is light,
you make the darkness ever bright.

5. Praise be to God, the Glorious King,
the Father, whom the angels sing.
Praise be to Christ, His only Son
Praise to the Spirit, with Them One.
