1. You have mercy, O Lahd, who was laid to rest
With excellent virtue, sublime thrones

2. And my yearning for those who in you are laid to evening rest
And my regret for a pearl within your burial

3. You contained the celestial scholar
So my wonder for a sea within your chambers

4. And when he was laid to rest, it was proclaimed unto him
Come to a joy within your heights

5. And in Heaven displayed a thread of victory
With Michael the angels rejoice
