They are waiting for our petitions
Silent and calm.
Their lips no prayer can utter,
No suppliant psalm;
We have made them all too weary
With long delay,
For the souls in their still agony,
Good Christian pray.

Requiescant in pace,
Requiescant in pace.

For the souls thou holdest dearest
Let prayers arise,
The voice of love is mighty
And will pierce the skies;
Waste not in selfish weeping
One precious day
But speeding thy love to Heaven
Good Christian pray.

Requiescant in pace,
Requiescant in pace.
