¶Lyrics / Text

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. 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 Saviour, cleanse and purge away. 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.
