St. John in the Wilderness Cemetery
O God of grace and glory, we remember before you
those who we have known and loved as companions on our earthly pilgrimage
and who have since left this life. In your boundless compassion, console
us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so
that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by
your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
