fount of life alone,
here we hail thee present
on thine altar-throne.
2 Humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
in the mystic symbols
veiled from earthly sight.
3 Think, O Lord, in mercy
on the souls of those
who, in faith gone from us,
now in death repose.
4 Here 'mid stress and conflict
toils can never cease;
there, the warfare ended,
bid them rest in peace.
5 Often were they wounded
in the deadly strife;
heal them, good Physician,
with the balm of life.
6 Ev'ry taint of evil,
frailty and decay,
good and gracious Saviour,
cleanse and purge away.
7 Rest eternal grant unto them,
after weary fight;
shed on them the radiance
of thy heav'nly light. Used With Tune: CASWALL Text Sources: Swahili
