Souls of the Righteous - T. Tertius Noble

Requiescat in pace - Souls of the Righteous T. Tertius Noble
The Emmanuel Choir (1867-1953)
Souls of the Righteous, in the hand of God,
Nor hurt nor torment cometh them anigh;
O holy hope of immortality,
Souls of the Righteous, in the hand of God.
Souls of the Righteous, in the hand of God,
To eyes of men unwise they seem to die,
They are at peace, O fairest liberty,
Souls of the Righteous, in the hand of God.
On earth as children chasten’d by Love’s rod,
As gold in furnace tried, so now on High
They shine like stars, a golden galaxy,
Souls of the Righteous, in the hand of God.
