We remember, Lord
We remember, Lord, the slenderness of the thread
which separates life from death,
and the suddenness with which it can be broken.
Help us also to remember that on both sides of that division we are surrounded by your love.
Persuade our hearts that when our dear ones die
neither we nor they are parted from you.
In you may we find peace,
and in you be united with them in the body of Christ,
who has burst the bonds of death and is alive for evermore, our Saviour and theirs for ever and ever.
