which all this is pervaded. None can cause the destruction of That, the Inexhaustible. …
“The body comes and goes.” From Death lead us to Immortality! …
“Peace be to you, O people of the graves! Ye have gone on before, and we are following you!” …
“O great and mighty Dead! O happy Dead! The world unnumbered ages has been weeping for the dead. Weep not for the dead! Weep rather for the living, for they have yet to die!”
The Benediction of the Dead:
The Lord bless thee and keep thee.
The Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon thee,
And be gracious unto thee,
And give thee peace.
Send thee help from the Sanctuary,
And strengthen thee out of Zion.
Give thee thy heart’s desire,
And fulfil all thy mind.
