Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: Church Book #187 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy soul, for ever blest,
Hath gone among the dead,
And to his peaceful place of rest
The dying thief hath led.
2 And all for us; that when, ere long,
We shall resign our breath,
We may not fear to go among
The unseen shades of death.
3 In death's dark vale I soon must be,
But I will nothing fear;
Thy rod and staff will comfort me;
Thou hast Thyself been there. Topics: Easter Eve; Easter Eve; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINE CLAMAVI
