FOR the passing souls we pray.
Saviour, meet them on their way.
Let their trust lay hold on Thee
Ere they touch eternity.
Holy counsels long forgot
Breathe again ‘mid shell and shot,
Through the mists of life’s last pain
None shall look to Thee in vain
To the hearts that know Thee, Lord,
Thou wilt speak through flood or sword:
Just beyond the cannons’ roar,
Thou art on that further shore.
For the passing souls we pray.
Saviour meet them on their way,
Thou wilt hear our yearning call
Who hast loved and died for all.
Amen.
