The Funeral Sentences

I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth
in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever
believeth in me shall never die. (St. John 11 : 25 - 26)

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy
this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for
myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.
(Job 19 : 25 - 27)

We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: blessed
be the name of the Lord. (1 Tim. 6 : 7; Job 1 : 21)

Hymn

Soldiers, who are Christ’s below,
Strong in faith resist the foe:
Boundless is the pledg’d reward
Unto them who serve the Lord.

´Tis no palm of fading leaves
That the conqueror’s hand receives;
Joys are his, serene and pure,
Light that ever shall endure.

For the souls that overcome
Waits the beauteous heavenly home,
Where the blessèd evermore
Tread, on high, the starry floor.

Passing soon and little worth
Are the things that tempt on earth;
Heavenward lift thy soul’s regard;
God himself is thy reward.

Father who the crown dost give,
Saviour by whose death we live,
Spirit who our hearts dost raise,
Three in One, thy name we praise.

Latin,18th Century Tr. John Clark 1839-88 Tune: Orientis Partibus
