ETERNAL REST

Eternal rest, grant to them, O Lord

And let perpetual light shine upon them (him, her).

I will never forget you, my people,

I have carved you on the palm of my hand.

I will never forget you, I will not leave you orphaned,

I will never forget my own.

Does a mother forget her baby?

Or a woman the child within her womb?

Yet even if these forget, yes, even if these forget,

I will never forget my own!

I will gather you from the nations,

I will bring you back into your land.

I will sprinkle clean water.

I will give you new spirit,

You'll be mine for evermore.
