Cory Croft & the Band of Phantoms - Requiem Lyrics

Father

I own thy sentence just
And nature must decay
I yield my body to the dust
To dwell with fellow clay

Yet faith may triumph over the grave
And trample on the tombs
My great Redeemer ever lives
My God
My Saviour
Comes

The mighty conqueror shall appear
High on a royal seat
And death, the last of all our foes
Lie vanquished at his feet

Though greedy worms devour my skin
And gnaw my wasting flesh
When God shall build my bones again
He clothes them all afresh

Then shall I see thy lovely face
With strong immortal eyes
And feast upon thy unknown grace
With pleasure and surprise

Though greedy worms devour my skin
And gnaw my wasting flesh
When God shall build my bones again
He clothes them all afresh

Though greedy worms devour my skin
And gnaw my wasting flesh
When God shall build my bones again
He clothes them all afresh
