Prayer for the Departed

I thank God in all my remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine for you,
Thankful for your faith, hope and love.

I am sure that God who began a good work in you,
Has brought it to a completion,
All to his glory and praise.

While you were here with us,
You loved God and resigned to his will,
Even in all situations.

You proved yourself a good Christian,
Now that you have gone back to God,
Your legacies are here with us.

Legacies of good faith and good action,
Good faith and good action are your legacies,
And now, a worthy Celebration of you.

Jee nke oma! Fare thee well!! Adieu!!!
