Formal Funerary Prayers (6)

Tune: St James\' Air

(\'How lovely is your dwelling place\')

Based on a Formal Prayer = Collect

********

Father in heaven, you gave your Son

Jesus Christ, the only one

To suffer for us, death on cross

Raid price, redeemed our loss

 

And too raised Him to life again

You glorified Him then

As He fulfilled your will, mission

Salvation\'s work has done

 

Grant us a patient faith in time

Of darkness, through life\'s rhyme

And too we pray, strengthen our hearts

To know your love, all parts

 

We ask through Jesus Christ your Son

He our atoning one

Has made the way to you open

Come to Him humbly then
