LEADER: I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord. He that

believeth in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

INVOCATION: O eternal God and master of all things, grant us the deep

consciousness of thy presence that the spirit of Christianity may forever direct our thinking, guide and control our hearts and activities so that we may eternally be disciples of thine and render unselfish service to mankind.

Most gracious Father, sometimes we who bemoan the parting

of loved ones are pained by heartaches, and scorned by some as they were: sometimes we come to mountains in our lives that are hard to climb as our loved ones did: However, we realize that we promised as they promised to keep on climbing for we are assured that you will help us to stand and have the courage to run all the way. Most merciful Father, lead us gently home so that we may join our departed loved ones in the mansion you have prepared for us all. Amen

HYMN: “SERVANT OF GOD, WELL DONE” Servant of God, well done:

Rest from thy loved employ; The battle is fought, the victory won,

Enter thy master’s joy.

The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear;

A mortal arrow pierced his frame He fell, but felt no fear.

Solider of Christ, well done. Praise be thy new employ;

And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior’s joy.
