Text in memory of Agnes Louise Vaught Everett

[Verse 1]
O loving God, we send your son/daughter home to you,
home to a place of everlasting love,
to join there with the angel choirs and blessed saints,
and to behold your glorious holy face.

[Refrain]
Receive her/his soul and let eternal light shine,
eternal light forever on her/his soul,
so she/he may be forever in your dwelling place,
and be at rest in peace until we meet her/him there.

[Verse 2]
O loving God, have mercy and forgiveness
upon your servant's now departed soul,
and may your grace and love enfold her/him evermore,
so she/he may dwell in paradise at last.

[Refrain]
