Eternal rest grant unto them
Eternal rest grant unto them,
whose earthly lives are past.
Perpetual light shine down on them;
may they rest in peace at last.
Eternal life grant unto them,
whose laughter now I’ve lost,
Whose presence and whose smiles I miss
– but never mind the cost.
Eternal joy grant unto them,
whose suffering now are through;
Their pain and illness finally gone,
their minds and hearts renew.
Eternal peace grant unto them,
my friends and family together;
Forgive them all their trespasses,
may they rest in peace forever.
