Confidence in God’s Love and Mercy
WE thank Thee, O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that Thou hast revealed Thy Son to us, on Whom we have believed, Whom we have loved, and Whom we worship. O Lord Jesus Christ, we commend our souls to Thee. O heavenly Father, we know that although we shall in Thine own good time be taken away from this life, we shall live for ever with Thee. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Father, into Thy hands we commend our spirits; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
