52.
Bring us, O Lord, at our last awakening,
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate and dwell in that house,
where there shall be no darkness or dazzling,
but one equal light;
no noise nor silence,
but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes,
but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings,
but one equal eternity;
in the habitations of your glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
53.
Dear Father of life,
you have made us for yourself,
and our hearts are restless till they rest in you.
Grant us so to love and serve you,
and live each day for you,
that we may, at the last,
reach out for you and know that we are loved,
open our hearts to you and know that we are forgiven;
and so, loved and accepted, we may rest in you;
through the love of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
54.
Eternal God,
you give light to those who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death;
let your light shine on those who mourn
that they may rejoice in your holy comfort
and live in the light of the resurrection
of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
55.
Father of all,
by whose mercy and grace
your saints remain in everlasting light and peace:
we remember with thanksgiving
those whom we love but see no longer;
and we pray that in them
your perfect will may be fulfilled;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
