| Text: | A Funeral Hymn |
| Author: | James Relly |
1 With solemn shout we sing thy praise,
Ancient of everlasting days!
Thou daily gather'st home thine own,
Who bear thy cross, to wear thy crown.
2 Let all rejoice and no one grieve,
This day we meet to take our leave
Of our dear brother's precious dust,
Until the rising of the just.
3 One with the body of the Lamb,
Seal'd with Immanuel's new name,
A member of his flesh and B=bone,
By blood redeem'd, to heav'n he's gone.
4 Then mourn not o'er the lifeless clay,
But wait the resurrection day,
When Christ the Saviour shall appear,
And he come with him in the air.
