Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims,
Of all the pious dead;
Sweet is the memory of their names,
The grave their peaceful bed.
From suffering as from sin released,
And freed from every snare;
Those who have died in Christ are blessed,
And where he is they are.
Far from this world of toil and strife,
They’re present with the Lord;
They trusted him in death and life,
And great is their reward.
