Christian Funeral Prayers

During Christian Funeral Prayers, there is a Bible text that is often used. (1Thess 4, 13-18) Brothers, we do not want to leave you in ignorance regarding people that have fallen asleep in death; you must not be slain like the others that have no any hope. Jesus, we believe, is dead and risen; in the same manner, we believe him, people that have fallen dead (asleep), God, because of Jesus, will take them with his Son. Thus, we will be forever with the Lord. Remember what I just said, and comfort one another.

Grant him, O Lord, the eternal rest and shine in his eyes the light without decline.
Words are missing Lord; we are in the ordeal, accept our silence as a prayer for that you know and love.

Psalm 22 Christian Funeral Prayers:

The Lord is my shepherd:
I lack absolutely nothing.
On meadows of fresh grass, he makes me rest.
He leads me to the still waters as well as makes me live again;
He leads me by the right way for the honor of his name.
If I cross the ravines of the death, I will never harm, because you are sure with me always:
Your own staff guides me and reassures me.
You prepare the table for me in the presence my own enemies;
You spread the scent on my head; my cup is overflowing.
Grace and happiness accompany me every day of my very own life;
I will dwell in the very house of my God for the duration of my days.
Love is waiting for me:
What will happen on the other side,
When everything for me
Will have changed into eternity, I do not know.
I believe I believe only
May a love await me.
I know that then I will have to do
Poor and without weight,
But do not think I'm despairing.
I believe I believe so much
May a love await me.
When I die, do not cry
It's a love that takes me.
If I'm scared- and why not?
Just remind me
May a Love, a Love await me.
He will open me all to his joy, to his light.
Yes, Father, I come to you
In the wind, which we do not know where he comes from, or where he goes,
He will open me all to his joy, to his light.
To Your Love, Your Love waiting for me.
