  2. Love, prayers, and sympathy, Rmj. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. May God give comfort, consolation, and peace to your family and all who love him.

    Whatever happens,
    those who have learned
    to love one another
    have made their way
    to the lasting world
    and will not leave,
    whatever happens.

  4. Be this soul on Thine own arm, O Christ,
    Thou King of the City of Heaven,
    And since Thine it was, O Christ, to buy the soul,
    At the time of the balancing of the beam,
    At the time of the bringing in the judgment,
    Be it now on Thine own right hand,
    Oh! on Thine own right hand.

    And be the holy Michael, king of angels,
    Coming to meet the soul,
    And leading it home
    To the heaven of the Son of God.
    The Holy Michael, high king of angels,
    Coming to meet the soul,
    And leading it home
    To the heaven of the Son of God.

  5. May God support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.

    'Tis all a very rare thing indeed, in this world, and very precious, and very much appreciated.
