PRAYER*                                                 Pastor and Congregation

	The Lord be with you.
	And also with you.
Let us pray.
      0 God, who gave us birth,
      you are ever more ready to hear
	than we are to pray.
      You know our needs before we ask,
	and our ignorance in asking.
      Give to us now your grace,
	that as we shrink before the mystery of death,
	we may see the light of eternity.
      Speak to us once more 
	your solemn message of life and of death.
      Help us to live as those who are prepared to die.
And when our days here are accomplished,
   enable us to die as those who go forth to live,
   so that living or dying our life may be in you,
   and that nothing in life or in death
   will be able to separate us from your great love
   in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
 Amen.

RESPONSE                          Psalm 23                 Congregation
	The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
	He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
	 he leadeth me beside the still waters.
	He restoreth my soul:
   he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness 
	 for his name's sake.
