The faith that is eternal life.
Relieve the burden of our grief
And lead our [brother sister] into light.
OR And lead us all, into your light.
O give us trust in your great love
That lives with pow'r beyond the grave,
A love unlike the meadow flow'rs
That bloom a while, then quickly fade.
Give us the comfort of those tears
You shed for Lazarus your friend.
Sustain us with your comfort now
Until our darkness has an end.

Lyrics
O Jesus, Lord, increase our faith,The faith that is eternal life.
Relieve the burden of our grief
And lead our [brother sister] into light.
OR And lead us all, into your light.
O give us trust in your great love
That lives with pow'r beyond the grave,
A love unlike the meadow flow'rs
That bloom a while, then quickly fade.
Give us the comfort of those tears
You shed for Lazarus your friend.
Sustain us with your comfort now
Until our darkness has an end.
