All stand. At the door of the church, the priest sprinkles the coffin with
Holy Water, as a reminder of baptism, in which Christ promises eternal
life to his people. He says:

Priest: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit.
All: Amen.
Priest: The Lord be with you.
People: And with your spirit.
In the waters of baptism Keith died with Christ and rose to new life with
him. May he now share with him eternal glory.

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come:
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

A reading from the first letter of St John

Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us,
by letting us be called God’s children;
and that is what we are.
