You are worthy, O Lamb, for you were slain:
and by your blood you bought for God
people of every tribe and language, nation and grace.
You have made them a kingdom of priests,
to stand and serve before our God:
and they will reign with you on earth.
To him who sits on the throne and to the lamb:
be praise and honour, glory and might,
for ever and ever, Amen.
Or
We give you thanks and praise, almighty Father,
that you sent your Son to die, and raised him from the dead.
We praise you in the confidence that you save all your people,
living and dead.
Lord, hear us: Lord, graciously hear us.
We thank you for N.,
who in baptism was given the pledge of eternal life
and is now admitted to the company of the saints.
Lord, hear us: Lord, graciously hear us.
We thank you for our brother/sister who shared the bread of life,
a foretaste of the eternal banquet of heaven.
Lord, hear us: Lord, graciously hear us.
We thank you for our relatives and friends
and for all who have helped us,
who enjoy the reward of their goodness.
Lord, hear us: Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray that the family and friends of our brother/sister N.
may be consoled in their grief by the Lord,
who wept at the death of Lazarus his friend.
Lord, hear us: Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for all of us assembled here to worship in faith,
that we may be gathered together again in God’s kingdom.
Lord, hear us: Lord, graciously hear us.
Or
Lord God, creator of all,
you have made us creatures of this earth,
but have also promised us a share in life eternal.
According to your promises,
may all who have died in the peace of Christ
share with your saints in the joy of heaven,
where there is neither sorrow nor pain
but life everlasting.
Alleluia ! Amen.
