Holy God

Holy God,
Lord of life and death,
you made us in your image
and hold us in your care.
We thank you for your servant (their name),
for the gift of his/her life,
and for the love and mercy he/she received from you and gave to us.

Especially we praise you for your love in Jesus Christ,
who died and rose from the grave
to free us from evil,
and give us life eternal.
Grant that when our time on earth is ended,
we may be united with all the saints
in the joys of your eternal home,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
