Verse 1
Sons of God by blest adoption
View the dead with steady eyes
What is sown thus in corruption
Shall in incorruption rise
What is sown in death’s dishonor
Shall revive to glory’s light
What is sown in this weak manner
Shall be raised in matchless might
Verse 2
Earthly cavern, to thy keeping
We commit our brother’s dust
Keep it safely, softly sleeping
Till our Lord demand thy trust
Sweetly sleep, dear saint, in Jesus
Thou, with us, shalt wake from death
Hold he cannot, tho’ he seize us
We his pow’r defy by faith
Verse 3
Jesus, Thy rich consolation
To Thy mourning people send
May we all, with faith and patience
Wait for our approaching end
Keep from courage vain or vaunted
For our change our hearts prepare
Give us confidence, undaunted
Cheerful hope, and Godly fear
