Words of comfort Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours

now and for ever. Amen.

Hymn Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear,

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun; We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we’ve first begun. Commendation and Committal Recessional

Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face

The rains fall soft upon your fields And, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
