Almighty God, Father, you care
All your mercies you share
And give to us all comfort dear
We feel your presence near
Deal graciously, we pray with those
Who mourn where there a close
Of chapter, season, come to end
Protect such, them defend
End of a time, a loved one gone
Their earthly life all done
May they who mourn cast all their care
On you, your comforts share
May they know in their sorrows here
Consoling of love near
\'Tis your own love, love of your Son
The compassionate one
