Author: Colin Gibson Hymnal: Voices United #495 (1996) First Line: Lord of all love, all life, and death Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Sing us the songs we cannot sing,
pardon the praise we cannot bring,
speak all the words we cannot say,
pray for us, Lord, we humbly pray.
3 That darkest mystery is here,
sorrow and pity, anger, fear;
conquer once more, dear Lord, death's sting,
faith, trust, and consolation bring.
4 Though precious dust return to dust,
in your good purpose we shall trust,
content to place within your care
the one we love and grieve for here. Topics: The Church at Worship Funeral; Funerals and Memorial Services; Jesus Christ Lord of Life; Manna, Bread of Life Tune Title: HARMONY
