Almighty God, Supreme Chief of the Universe, we humbly bow before Thy Sovereign will, as in Thy providence. Thou hast seen fit to call our brother home. We submit to Thy divine will, and draw our comfort from Thy promises contained in Thy Holy Word, assuring us of immortality. Our brother has responded to the higher call and Thou has promoted him to the celestial ranks where he may more fully serve Thee. We are mindful of the life of service and the good deeds of our departed. brother. He faithfully and unselfishly gave of his time, talents, and energy in the safety and protection of the life and home of his fellowmen. We praise Thee for his life and example, and would emulate his virtues. Now that his earthly career has been completed, we implore Thee to receive his soul, and grant to him a glorious entrance into that eternal home of bliss and everlasting joy.
May thy comforting spirit minister to the family and relatives bereaved; console them in their sorrow, cheer them in their grief, and provide for them in the days to come. May they find comfort in the memory of the happy days of association with their loved one now departed, and may they look with hope and trust to that day when they shall meet again. For Thy Name's Sake. Amen.
