| 1 | The righteous souls that take their flight
Far from this world of pain;
In God’s eternal bosom blest
Forever shall remain. |
| 2 | To minds unwise they seem to die,
All joyful hope to cease;
While they, secured by faith, repose
In everlasting peace. |
| 3 | For at the great, the awful day,
When Christ descends from high;
With myriads of Angelic Saints,
They’ll meet Him in the sky. |
| 4 | Their God, their Judge, their mighty Lord,
Shall pour redeeming grace;
And call them ever to behold
The brightness of His face. Amen. |
