COMMITTAL
We know that if the
earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a
house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
For as such as your
servant, our sister and mother, Mrs.
Victoria Olamide Williams departed out of this earth and God Almighty in
His great mercy has called her to Himself, we therefore commit her body to the
ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust in sure and certain hope
of the resurrection of eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ to whom be
glory forever and ever. Amen.
I heard the voice
from heaven saying to me, from henceforth blessed are the dead who died in the
Lord, even so says the Spirit for they rest from their labours. You are the
King of Glory, O Christ; you are the everlasting Son of the Father. When you
had overcome the sharpness of death; You opened the Kingdom of heaven to all
believers. You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father. We
believe that you will come to be our judge. We therefore pray you, help your
servants, whom you have redeemed with Your precious blood. Make them to be
numbered with your saints in glory everlasting. Amen.
20. PRAYERS AND BENEDICTION
O merciful God, the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life; in whom
whosoever believeth shall live, though he die, and whosoever liveth and
believeth in Him, shall not die eternally; we meekly beseech! Thee, O Father,
to raise us from the death of sin, unto the life of righteousness; that when we
shall depart this life, we may be found acceptable in Thy sight, and receive
that blessing which Thy well-beloved Son shall pronounce to all that love and
fear Thee, saying, come ye blessed children of My Father, receive the Kingdom
prepared for you from the beginning of the world. Grant this, we beseech Thee,
O merciful Father through Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Redeemer. Amen.
O God, the strength
of the weak, the comfort of the sorrowful, the friend of the lonely; Let not
sorrow overwhelm Thy children, nor anguish of heart turn them from Thee. Grant
that in the patience of hope and the followership of Christ, they may continue
in Thy service and in all godly living until at length they also attain unto
fullness of life before Thy face, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
All glory and
thanksgiving is Thine, Almighty God our heavenly Father, for that Thou of Thy
tender mercy didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon
Him, and to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption. We bless Thee for
that victory over death and grave which he hath obtained for us and for all who
rest in Him, and we pray Thee to keep us in fellowship with all who wait for
Thee on earth and with the company of heaven: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Benediction
The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be
with you all evermore. Amen.
