So by our griefs to be
Nearer, O GOD, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

Glory, O GOD, to Thee;
Glory to Thee,

Almighty TRINITY

In UNITY,

Glorious in Mystery,

Through all Eternity,

[Consecration of a Burial Ground.

FAITH, looking on this hallowed ground,

A holy garden sees;

A Paradise, where lovely flowers

Will grow, and fruitful trees.

Here, on this ground, a Heavenly Dew,
A Dew of Herbs is shed;

And many here will wake and sing,
When Earth shall yield her dead.

Members of CHRIST their bodies were,
And, joined to CHRIST their Head,

Will, by His Resurrection, rise
In Triumph, from the dead.

And they the SPIRIT'S Temples were;
And, though dissolved in death,
They will in Glory be restored,
Raised by the SPIRIT's Breath!

P

The Trump shall sound, and in the clouds
The LORD shall be revealed,

And every grave shall opened be,
And every tomb unsealed.

CHRIST will transform His risen Saints
With Power and Love Divine,
Their bodies will, in Heavenly Light,
Like to His Body shine.

Called forth to meet their coming LORD,

And caught up in the air,

They will to Heaven be borne, and dwell With Him for ever There.

O therefore bless the LORD of LIFE, Who plucked from Death his sting, And will His people, through the grave, To Joys immortal bring.

LORD, give us grace to die to sin,

And rise to Life renewed,
That we may rise to endless Life,
In Thy Similitude.

Glory to FATHER; and to SON,

Who died that we may live;

And QUICKENING SPIRIT, Ever-Blest,-
Eternal Glory give. Amen.

SON of GOD that givest Life!

Therefore doth the world glorify Thee. Amen.
