1t is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.

Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous may enter.i Ps. | ]8:S.5-9.

34. One or more of the following pornons of Hols Scripture are read.

P Jesus (said). “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell vou
the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a
single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will
lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me: and where I am, my servant also will be. My
Father will honor the one who serves me.” (John 12:23-26)

Listen, I tell you. a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a
flash, in the twinkling of an eve. at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,
the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable
must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When
the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with
immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been
swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is
your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks

be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor
1881-87)

Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord
Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
(Phil. 3:20-21)

27 The coftin ty lowered into the grave or placed ins resting place. Earth may be

Pe We now commit _*-* bods to eee ; earth to
earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in the sure and certain hope of the
resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. who will change our
lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. by the power that enables
him to bring everything under his control.
