Formal Funerary Prayers Series (4)

orchidee



Tune: Ravenshaw

('Lord thy word abideth')

Based on a Collect = Formal Prayer

********

Remember, O Lord, here

Your servants to you dear

Who have us gone before

With the sign of faith sure

 

Now they rest in peace, sleep

'Til rising day you keep

And in your promises

Grant them comforts, true bliss

 

Grant all who in Christ rest

Refreshment, light, they blest

We ask through Christ your Son

He our Lord, only one

      Thanks Blue. I base this series on some Formal Prayers/Collects, so not all the eloquence, flowery language, gushing(?!), etc is of my original thought.

      • Crowns4Christ

        Still full of love for our Lord.
        Please pray for ruby
