gustav holst - funeral hymn lyrics

away o death thy work is ended now
far from us on thy lonely path go thou
thy path on which no other god may tread
this mound we raise doth part us from the dead
now may the great ordainer hear our chant
may he accept our sacrifice and grant
that in due course treads the eternal way
as though the ages day doth follow day
o woman whose eyes with tears are dim
who liest there upon the ground with him
who once did love thee, once did call the wife
arise and join again the world of life
mothеr of all, a child to thee we bring;
earth, holy source whencе all our life doth spring
here is one who yearns for thee again
sleeping so calmly on they loving breast
wrapt in they robe, o mother may he rest:
knowing nought of sorrow, tears and pain
then forward o thou soul upon the road
that leadeth thee unto they new abode
where waits the dreadful judge
whom thou must face
where dwell the ancient fathers of our race
there where in the eternal waters play
lit by beams of everlasting day
then forward o thou soul again we cry
go forth o happy one, beyond the sky
go forth! go tread the path on which our fathers trod
that leads unto their fellowship and god
