“A Funeral Benediction” by Nick Roark

“Now may the God of peace,

Grant you perfect peace,

And living hope,

And glorious grace,

And steadfast love with faith

Through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Until the day breaks

And the shadows flee away.

Amen.”

(Hebrews 13:20; Isaiah 26:3; 1 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:6; 6:23; Jude 25; Song of Songs 2:17)
