Afflicted, made my grave here with the wicked

Left me bruised for my iniquities

I spent my whole life my own way

All we like sheep gone astray

My heart may fail

My flesh may subside

But you′re my strength, my love, my portion

My home, my shelter

Wipe all tears from their eyes

No more pain, no more crying

Former things have passed away

And now I believe you will raise up all of those who fell asleep

So to diе is to gain

As I have sworn in my wrath

They will not entеr my rest

Lest all hold firmly, approach the throne

Neither death nor life

(Nor death nor life)

Neither angels or kings

(No principalities)

Nor things now or to come

(No powers no things present)

No height no depth nor any creature

(Nor any other created thing)

Can separate us from your love

Now take me in your arms!

Flesh revealed to sight, righteous might

Vindicated, justified

All proclaim waiting for the reign

Here revealed a mystery

More than fall into a slumber

We will all be changed

Let go of all this selfish pride and this desire to die

And be made alive

Wipe all tears from their eyes

No more pain, no more crying

Former things have passed away

And now I believe you will raise up all of those who fell asleep

So to die is to gain

My heart and flesh may fail, but you're my evermore

Cover under your wings all those who I adored

And as the dust returns I will be with you in paradise

Let your hearts not be troubled but believe in me

I have a home prepared that one day you will see

I′ll take you to the place where you'll sleep forever

Sum up all times I've failed

That will all disappear in my forever sleep

I′ll see you when I sleep

Blessed now and forever
