In Memoriam
When twilight fades and day is done and eyes just close like the setting
sun, a weary soul lies down to rest, it's God's own way he knoweth best.
Supreme Grand Master unto thy love and mercy we commend the soul of our
Brethren.
May light perpetually shine upon them until the morning breaks and the
shadows flee away.
May we realize that we are his children.
May we so live that when our day is done, we too may face that eternal
change that come to us all in faith and confidence in thy redeeming grace
and power.
Now may the peace of God which passeth all understanding abide with us for
ever more
AMEN
