Author: E. S. Palmer, 1856-1931 Hymnal: Common Praise #352a (2000) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Son of Mary,
fount of life alone,
here we hail thee present
on thine altar- throne:
humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
in the mystic symbols
veiled from earthly sight.
2 Think, O Lord, in mercy
on the souls of those
who, in faith gone from us,
now in death repose.
Here 'mid stress and conflict
toils can never cease;
there, the warfare ended,
bid them rest in peace.
3 Often were they wounded
in the deadly strife;
heal them, Good Physician,
with the balm of life.
Every taint of evil,
frailty and decay,
good and gracious Saviour,
cleanse and purge away.
4 Rest eternal grant them,
after weary fight;
shed on them the radiance
of thy heavenly light.
Lead them onward, upward,
to the holy place,
where thy saints made perfect
gaze upon thy face. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls; Proper 26 Year C; Remembrance Sunday Scripture: Hebrews 12:23 Languages: English Tune Title: EUDOXIA
