God, we give you thanks for the life that you give us. It is wonderful and mysterious, full of work and labor, full of tears and joy and soon it is past and gone like a dream. God, we give you thanks for eternal life for your light that illumines our short days and years and fills them with eternity. God, we thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to see that that he opens the gate to the life that never dies. Lord our God, you are our refuge from generation to generation. Year and days vary, but you remain the same.. Your mercy remains with us in life and in death. Grant us to remember and to give thanks for what you gave us through Densil Cook. Receive him into your kingdom after his long working day. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
