Gebed vir die heengaan van Koningin Elizabeth II.

  
Die afsterwe van Koningin Elizabeth II het haar gesin, familie, Britse volk, en mense regoor die wêreld diep getref. Die seer en verlies van haar afsterwe bring ons voor God...
 

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home;
 
Beneath the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
 
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
 
A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
 
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
 
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
    Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
 

Regoor die Verenigde Koninkryk is daar verskeie plekke waar jy jou simpatie kan oordra. Die Church of England het  A Book of Condolences for Her Majesty The Queen beskikbaar gestel sodat jy jou meegevoel aanlyn kan betuig. 

Seënwense,
