The Funeral
I will lift up mine eyes onto the hills
From whence shall my help come
My
help cometh from the Lord,
Which made heaven and earth
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved
He that keepeth
thee will not slumber
Behold, he that keepeth Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep
The
Lord is thy keeper
The Lord is thy shade upon my right hand
The sun shall not spite thee by day, nor the moon by night
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil
He shall
preserve thy soul
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming
From this time forth and forever more
The
Lord is thy shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside distilled
waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth on paths of righteousness for his name sake
Yea though I walk to the valley
of the shadow death
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
Thou prepareth
a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies
Thou
anointeth my head with oil, my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever
Oh God who art full of compassion
Thou who dwellest up
high
Grant perfect rest beneath
The shelter of thy divine presence
In
the exalted places among the holy and pure
Who shine as the brightness of the firment
To all those who have gone to
their eternal home
The piety of who's life forms
The subject of our meditation today
We
beseech thee oh Lord of compassion
Shelter them evermore under the cover of Thy wings
And let their souls be bound
up with bond of life
May they repose in peace may they rest in peace and
Let us say Amen
