Lord Jesu, Who at Lazarus’ Tomb

Lord Je­su

who at La­zarus’ tomb

To weep­ing friends from death’s dark womb

Didst bring new joy to life

Grant to the friends who stand for­lorn

A vi­sion of that larg­er morn

Where peace has con­quered strife.

May we be­hold across the bar

The dear im­mor­tals as they are

Empowered in act and will

With pur­er eyes to see their king

With full­er hearts His praise to sing

With strength to help us still;

Not fet­tered now by flesh­ly bond

But tire­less in the great be­yond

And grow­ing day by day.

Can we not make their glad­ness ours

And share their thoughts

their add­ed pow­ers

And fol­low as we pray?

O Ho­ly Ghost

the strength and guide

Of those who to this earth have died

But live more near to God

Give us Thy grace to fol­low on

Till we with them the crown have won

Who du­ty’s paths have trod.
