Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #728 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of the living, in whose eyes
unveiled your whole creation lies,
all souls are yours; we must not say
that those are dead who pass away;
for we believe and know it true,
our dead are living, Lord, with you.
2 Released from earthly toil and strife,
with you is hidden still their life;
yours are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
all yours, and yet most surely ours;
for we believe and know it true,
our dead are living, Lord, with you. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Death and Grieving; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Trust Scripture: Luke 20:37-38 Languages: English Tune Title: TYNEMOUTH (ST. CATHERINE'S)
