Think, O Lord, in Mercy

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.

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 Sav­ior

cleanse and purge away.

Rest eter­nal grant them

af­ter wea­ry fight;

Shed on them the ra­di­ance of Thy heav’n­ly light.

Lead them on­ward

up­ward

to the ho­ly place

Where Thy saints

made perf­ect

gaze up­on Thy face.
