Formal Funerary Prayers Series (9)

Tune: Capetown

(\'Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost\')

**********

O Lord, support us all day

And e\'en through each night we pray

All through this troublous life here

Hold us to you dear

 

Until shades do lengthen out

Evening comes without a doubt

And the busy world hushed is

Give us rest, true bliss

 

And when fever of life o\'er

Our work done here then for sure

Then Lord in your mercy give

Good things, that we live

 

Grant us safe lodging, abode

A holy rest, your love showed

Unto us, and peace at last

When earth\'s troubles past
