Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #739 (1986) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Hymnal Title: Worship (3rd ed.) First Line: Lord of the living, in your name assembled Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living, in your name assembled,
We join to thank you for the life remembered.
Father, have mercy, to your children giving
Hope in believing.
2 Help us to treasure all that will remind us
Of the enrichment in the days behind us.
Your love has set us in the generations,
God of creation.
3 May we, whenever tempted to dejection,
Strongly recapture thoughts of resurrection.
You gave us Jesus to defeat our sadness
With Easter gladness.
4 Lord, you can lift us from the grave of sorrow
Into the presence of your own tomorrow;
Give to your people for the day's affliction
Your benediction. Topics: All Souls (November 2); Funeral; Comfort; Death; Petition Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTE SANCTORUM
