Lord of all love, all life, and death, giver of time and place and breath, hear us, as now we bring our loss into the presence of your cross. Sing us the songs we cannot sing, pardon the praise we cannot bring, conquer once more, dear Lord, death's sting, pray for us, Lord, we humbly pray. That darkest mystery is here, sorrow and pity, anger, fear; conquer once more, dear Lord, death's sting, faith, trust and consolation bring. Though precious dust return to dust, in your good purpose we shall trust, content to place within your care she/he whom we love and grieve for here.
