Formal Funerary Prayers Series (8)

orchidee



Tune: Dundee

(one tune to: 'God moves in a mysterious way')

Based on a Formal Prayer = Collect.

**********

Almighty God, Father, you care

All your mercies you share

And give to us all comfort dear

We feel your presence near

 

Deal graciously, we pray with those

Who mourn where there a close

Of chapter, season, come to end

Protect such, them defend

 

End of a time, a loved one gone

Their earthly life all done

May they who mourn cast all their care

On you, your comforts share

 

May they know in their sorrows here

Consoling of love near

'Tis your own love, love of your Son

The compassionate one
