BURIAL AT SEA song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

Adapted from Psalm 130 and Book of Common Prayer service for naval burial

De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine
Out of the deep we call to Thee call to Thee call oh Lord
Oh Lord hear our voice hear our voice to thee oh Lord
Let us now receive now receive receive the Word

Let Thine ears receive our prayer our prayer to Thee oh Lord
The voice of our lament our lament of thine injustice
Almighty God we now commend the soul of our departed
we commit his body to the deep to the deep

oh Lord where shall we stand shall we stand beneath the law
and ask the Lord for mercy Lord for mercy be redeemed
our souls do wait for him and in His word is our trust
our souls doth fleeth fleeth fleeth fleeth unto the Lord

Almighty God we now commend the soul
of our departed brother
we now commit his body to the deep to the deep
to be turned into corruption washed away by the sea

the watchmen wait for the dawn
More than watchmen wait for the dawn
in sure and certain hope of Resurrection endlessly
in sure and certain hope of Resurrection endlessly

and when He comes in glorious in glory majesty
to judge the world to judge the world to judge the world as said
corruption will be changed will be changed the sleepers wake
the last shall now be first and the sea give up her dead

De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine
Out of the deep we call to Thee call to Thee call oh Lord
Oh Lord hear our voice hear our voice to Thee oh Lord
And bring to us not peace bring not peace but a sword
