The Officiant

I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord;

he that believeth in me, though he were dead, vet shall he live;

and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

I know that my Redeemer liveth,

and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth;

and though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God;

w h o m I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall behold,

and not as a stranger.

For none o f us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

For i f we live, we live unto the L o r d ; and i f we die, we die unto

the Lo rd . Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord ; even so saith the Spirit ,

f o r they rest f r o m their labors.

T h e L o r d be wi th you.

A n d w i t h thy spirit.

Let pray.

O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf o f thy servant

Katharine, and grant her an entrance in to the land o f l ight and joy, in the fellowship o f thy saints;

through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord , who liveth and reigneth w i t h thee and the H o l y Spirit,

one God , now and for ever.

The People Amen.

PSALM 2 3 Read by all in unison

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not wanr.

H e maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the sti l l waters.

He restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths o f righteousness

for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley o f the shadow ot death,

I w i l l fear no evil:

for thou art w i t h me;

thy rod and thv staff, thev comfor t me.

T h o u preparest a table before me in the presence o f mine enemies:

thou anointest my head wi th o i l ;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall fo l low me

all the days o f my life,

and I w i l l dwell in the house o f the Lord forever.

The People stand

HYMN

O God, our help in ages past,

O u r hope f o r years to come,

O u r shelter f r o m the stormy blast,

A n d our eternal home:

Under the shadow o f thy throne

T h y saints have dwelt secure;

Suff icient is thine arm alone,

A n d our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,

O r earth received her frame,

F rom everlasting thou art God,

To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in thy sight

Are like an evening gone;

Shor t as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.

T ime , like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly, forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.

O God , our help in ages past,

O u r hope for years to come,

Be thou our guide while l i fe shall last,

A n d our eternal home. Amen.
