We seem to give them back to You. O Lord, who first gave them to us.
Yet as You did not lose them in giving, so we do not lose them by their return to You.
Not as the world gives do You give, O Lover of souls. What you give You do not take away.
For what is Yours is ours also if we belong to You. Life is eternal and love is immortal.
Death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing but the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further; cleanse our eyes,
that we may see more clearly; draw us closer to Yourself that we may
know ourselves to be nearer our loved ones who are with You.
And while you prepare a place for us, prepare us also for that place.
That where You are, we may be also forevermore. Amen.
