All who for love of God forgive
All who in pain or sorrow grieve!
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Christ bears your burdens and your fears;
Still make your song amid the tears;
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
And you, most gentle sister death,
Waiting to hush our final breath:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Since Christ our light has pierced your gloom,
Fair is the night that leads us home.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
All Creatures, Worship God Most High – ELW 835
