TO ME WHO AM LEFT TO MOURN HIS DEPARTURE, GRANT THAT I MAY NOT SORROW AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE FOR MY BELOVED HUSBAND WHO SLEEPS IN THEE: BUT THAT, ALWAYS REMEMBERING HIS COURAGE AND THE LOVE THAT UNITED US ON EARTH, I MAY BEGIN AGAIN WITH NEW COURAGE TO SERVE THEE MORE FERVENTLY WHO ART THE ONLY SOURCE OF TRUE LOVE AND TRUE FORTITUDE; THAT WHEN I HAVE PASSED YET MORE MONTHS IN THIS VALLEY OF TEARS AND IN THE SHADOW OF HIS DEATH MAY BE SUPPORTED BY THY ROD AND THY STAFF. GRANT THAT I MAY SEE HIM AGAIN FACE TO FACE IN THOSE PASTURES AND AMONGST THOSE WATERS OF COMFORT WHERE I TRUST HE ALREADY WALKS WITH THEE. O SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP HAVE PITY ON THIS DEVASTATED SOUL OF MINE.
