Libera Rest In Peace
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished, but gone before
and lie in the tender arms of he who died for us all to
set us free
from hatred and anger and cruel tyranny
may they rest in peace - and rise in glory
All suffering and sorrow will be no more
they'll vanish like shadows at heaven’s door
All anguish and grieving will one day be healed
when all of God's purpose will be revealed.
Though now for a season lost from sight
the innocent slain in the blindness of 'right'
are now in the warmth of God's glorious light
where they rest in peace - and rise in glory
Lord give me wisdom to comprehend why I survive and not
my friend
and teach me compassion so I may live, all my enemies
to forgive
For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
all those whom we cherished will be reborn
All those whom we love but see no more
they are not perished but gone before
And Lord keep them safe in your embrace
and fill their souls with your good grace
for now they see you face to face
where they rest in peace - and rise in glory
