CONCLUDING
PRAYERS AND POEMS
We give them back
to you, dear Lord,
Who gave them to us.
Yet as you did not
lose them in giving,
so we have not lost them by their return.
Life is eternal and
love is immortal,
And death is only a horizon,
And a horizon is
nothing more
Than the limit of our
sight.
The Our
Father
Our Father, who art
in heaven, hallowed be thy
name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our
trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the
kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen
