Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
We are born as naked infants
Then baptized into Christ our God
Rocks and shoals of life beset us
Washed in waters of our Lord
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
What earthy sweetness remaineth unmixed with grief?
What glory standeth immutable on earth?
All things are but shadows most feeble
But most deluding dreams
Yet one moment only
And death shall supplant then all
But in the light of thy countenance
Oh Christ, and in the sweetness of thy beauty
Give rest to him whom thou hast chosen
Because thou lovest mankind
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
We must run the course that tempts us
With the idols of the world
Yet we have our Lord and Master
And His Mother for our shield
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Grant, Oh Lord, in love unceasing
Rest to him now lying here
Grant him rest among the faithful
In the life beyond compare
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη
Αἰωνία αὐτοῦ ἡ μνήμη
