Tune: St Anne
('O God our help in ages past')
Based on a Formal Prayer = Collect
*********
Eternal Lord God, you hold all
Souls in life, they not fall
On your whole church shed forth we pray
Bright beams of your light's day
Your church in paradise, on earth
Your people of new birth
Send us the heavenly comfort strong
Sustain us all along
Grant we follow good example
Of those who loved you full
And served you here, and now at rest
They with you now are blest
May we at the last enter in
To fullness, free from sin
Fullness of your eternal joy
Through Christ, none can destroy

Thanks M. I suppose you guess that I would find a humanist funeral/service of thanks very strange, and with 'something missing'.
