In memoriam. | |
Ⅰ. It has been Thy will, O Lord, | |
Into Thy hand I commend his soul, for it has returned to the God Who gave it. May the memory of his life remain with me for evermore. | |
I give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, for the blessing of the gift of his friendship which Thou didst bestow upon me and which Thou hast now taken from me. Make me at all times worthy of it. | |
Open now my heart to the breath of Thy holiness, so that by Thy love and mercy I may receive strength and comfort; and grant, I beseech Thee, that I may one day behold his countenance in Thy eternal Presence. Amen. | |
Ⅱ. Grant, O Lord, | |
Father of mercy, may Thy consolation strengthen me, as I remember (name: ……) who has gone to his/her “eternal rest. | |
Grant, I beseech Thee, O Lord, that I may at all times be faithful to his/her memory, and that I may ever live worthily of the great and abiding love that bound us together in Thy Service. Amen. |
