GOD, Your days are without end,
Your mercies beyond counting. 
Help us always to remember that
life is short and the day of our death
is known to You alone.  
May Your Holy Spirit lead us to live
in holiness and justice all our days.
Then, after serving You in the fellowship of
Your Church, with strong faith, consoling hope,
and perfect love for all, may we joyfully
come to Your Kingdom.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
