Formal Funerary Prayers (6)

orchidee



Tune: St James' Air

('How lovely is your dwelling place')

Based on a Formal Prayer = Collect

********

Father in heaven, you gave your Son

Jesus Christ, the only one

To suffer for us, death on cross

Raid price, redeemed our loss

 

And too raised Him to life again

You glorified Him then

As He fulfilled your will, mission

Salvation's work has done

 

Grant us a patient faith in time

Of darkness, through life's rhyme

And too we pray, strengthen our hearts

To know your love, all parts

 

We ask through Jesus Christ your Son

He our atoning one

Has made the way to you open

Come to Him humbly then

    Beautiful as always Orchi,

    • orchidee

      Thanks Blue.

    • Rocky Lagou

      Amen! I can hear this being sung in my church.

        Thanks Rocky. Erm, I can't hear it being sung in one church I used to go to, on account it was not where they are "at". Doh! Got to have their repetitive choruses, and 3 weeks in a row sometimes. The same ones. Can't be bothered to practice different ones, as the Worship Group is hit-and-miss. One week just 2 people, another week 6 people in it.
        I don't mind 'modern' but the same thing is like an old dinner being hashed up every week.
