The Funeral

Staind


I will lift up mine eyes onto the hills from whence shall my help come 
My help cometh from the Lord, 
Which made heaven and earth 
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved 
He that keepeth thee will not slumber 
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep 
The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy shade upon my right hand 
The sun shall not spite thee by day, nor the moon by night 
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil 
He shall preserve thy soul 
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming 
From this time forth and forever more 

The Lord is thy shepherd 
I shall not want 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures 
He leadeth me beside distilled waters 
He restoreth my soul 
He leadeth on paths of righteousness for his name sake 
Yea though I walk to the valley of the shadow death 
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me 
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me 
Thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies 
Thou anointeth my head with oil, my cup runneth over 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow all the days of my life 
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever 

Oh God who art full of compassion 
Thou who dwellest up high 
Grant perfect rest beneath the shelter of thy divine presence 
In the exalted places among the holy and pure 
Who shine as the brightness of the firment 
To all those who have gone to their eternal home 
The piety of who's life forms the subject of our meditation today 
We beseech thee oh Lord of compassion 
Shelter them evermore under the cover of Thy wings 
And let their souls be bound up with bond of life 
May they repose in peace may they rest in peace and let us say Amen
