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
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
