¶Lyrics / Text

::::''1.'' :In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer :For the saints who before us have found their reward; :When the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed, :But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. ::::''2.'' :In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even, :He called them away from our worship below; :But not till His love, at the font and the altar, :Had girt them with grace for the way they should go. ::::''3.'' :These stones that have echoed their praises are holy, :And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; :Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, :And still they were seeking the city of God. ::::''4.'' :Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found Him, :Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; :They believed in the Light; and its glory is round them, :Where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last.
