I. Introit: John 11:25, 26 and Job 19:25-27
I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, he who believes in me, shall live even though he dies.
He who believes in me, he who believes in me shall live even though he dies.
And whoever lives — and believes in me, shall never die...
And who ever lives... and believes in me shall never die.—.
I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, he who believes in me shall live even though he dies
As for me, I know that my redeemer lives, and that at the last, he shall stand,
and that at the last— he shall — stand, and that at the last— he shall— stand upon the Earth.
As for me— I know that my redeemer lives.
After my awaking, he will raise me up; After my awaking, he will raise me up; and in my body, I shall see God.
In my body. I shall see God.
I myself shall see him, and my eyes shall behold him who is my friend— and not a stranger, who is my friend and not a stranger.
As for me— I know that my redeemer lives, and that at the last— he shall — stand, and that at the last— he shall — stand, and that at the last, —
he shall stand upon the Earth.
As for me— I know that my redeemer lives.
II. Anthem: Episcopal Prayer Book
In the midst of life we are in death. In the midst of life we are in death; From whom can we seek help?— From whom can we seek help?
From you alone, O Lord— from you alone, O Lord — who by our sins are justly angered.
Holy God, holy and mighty. Holy and merciful Savior, deliver us, deliver us not into the bitterness — not into the bitterness — not into the bitterness, not into the bitterness, bitterness of eternal death.
Lord, you know the secrets of our hearts; Lord, you know the secrets of our hearts; shut not your ears unto our prayers, but spare us, O Lord.
To you alone, O Lord — To You alone, O Lord—, we lift our hearts with fear and trembling.
Holy God, holy and mighty, holy and merciful Savior, deliver us, deliver us— not into the bitterness— not into the bitterness — not into the bitterness, bitterness of eternal death.
Oh worthy and eternal judge, do not let the pains of death,
do not let the pains of death,
turn us away from you, O Lord,
turn us away from you, O Lord,
at our last hour —
O worthy and eternal judge. Do not let the pains of death,
turn us away from you at our last hour.
Holy God, holy and mighty, holy and merciful Savior, deliver us not into the bitterness of eternal death. Deliver us, deliver us, not into the bitterness of eternal death
— O Lord— Merciful Savior— .
III. The Commendation: Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence does my help come? My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. He will not let your foot be moved — he who keeps you will not slumber— . Behold!
He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is my keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord— will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and — forever more. —
Ah— hmm.
IV. Recessional
Why should we shrink at Jordan’s flood or dread the unknown way? See yonder rolls a stream of blood that bears the curse away. Death lost his sting when Jesus bled, when Jesus left the ground. Disarmed the King of Terrors fled, and felt a mortal wound.
And now his office is to wait between the saints and sin. A porter at the heavenly gate to let the pilgrims in. And though his pale and ghastly face may seem to frown the while, we soon shall see the King of Grace, and He’ll forever smile.
Death is no more a frightful foe, since I with Christ shall reign. With joy I leave this world of woe, for me to die is gain. To darkness doubts and fears adieu, adieu thou world so vain. Then shall I know no more of you; for me to die is gain.
No more shall Satan tempt my soul, corruption shall be slain. And tides of pleasure o’er me roll, for me to die is gain.
Sorrow for joy, I shall exchange, forever freed from pain. And o’er the plains of Canaan range, for me to die is gain. Fain would my raptured soul depart, not longer here remain, but dwell dear Jesus where Thou art: for me to die is gain.
For me to die is gain!
V. Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
VI. The Committal: Isaiah 25:6-9, 2:4
On this mountain, on this mountain, the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all people, for all people.
On this mountain, on this mountain, He will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations.
He will swallow up death forever. The sovereign Lord will wipe away all tears from all faces. He will remove the disgrace of his people from all the Earth.
The Lord has spoken.
In that day, they will say, “Surely this is our God; surely this is our God.
We trusted in Him, we trusted in Him, and He saved us, and he saved us. This is the Lord, this is the Lord, we trusted in Him.
Let us rejoice and be glad— in His salvation– in His salvation—
Let us rejoice and be glad— in His salvation — in His salvation.”— —
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks — .
Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more.
Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. Amen.
