Formal Funerary Prayers Series (2)

orchidee



Tune: St Fulbert

('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')

Based on a Formal Prayer

********

O God, you the maker of all

You hear us when we call

You redeemer of all mankind

The lost sheep you do find

 

Grant us with those now departed

We the faithful path tread

Bring to us your Son's benefits

He our sins them remits

 

The benefits of His passion

Make sure unto each one

The glorious resurrection

Hope, in your one true Son

 

That in the last days, confident

We sure that you have sent

Your Son, to gather in Him all

Things, so we shall not fall

 

So with those departed shall be

Gathered up with them we

Enjoy your promises fullness

through Christ, we Him do bless
