Author: William John Birkbeck (1869-1916) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #351 (2013) Topics: Rest Lyrics: Give rest, O Christ,
to thy servant with thy saints,
where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing, but life everlasting.
Thou only art immortal,
the Creator and Maker of man;
and we are mortal, formed of the earth,
and unto earth shall we return;
for so thou didst ordain
when thou createdst me, saying:
'Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'
All we go down to the dust,
and, weeping o'er the grave we make our song:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Give rest, O Christ,
to thy servant with thy saints,
where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing, but life everlasting. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:7 Languages: English Tune Title: KONTAKION OF THE DEAD
Give rest, O Christ
