Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Let light eternal shine on them, O Lord,
with thy saints forever,
for thou art merciful.
Rest eternal grant them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.
In paradisum deducant te angeli,
in tuo adventu
suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te
in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.
May the angels lead you into paradise,
may the martyrs receive you
in your coming,
and may they guide you
into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the chorus of angels receive you
and with Lazarus once poor
may you have eternal rest.

Checking in for my hour on vigil.
Dear Lord,
I've run out of words. You know my heart, mind, and soul, and those of my brothers and sisters. Bless Molly and all who love her with Your peace.

Be thou my vision, O Lord, of my heart.
All else be naught to me save that thou art.
Thou my best thought by day or by night.
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom and thou my true Word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, thine own will I be.
Thou in thy dwelling, and I safe with Thee.
....
High King of Heaven, when Vict'ry is won,
May I reach Heaven's joys, bright heaven's Sun.
Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Praying also for those who keep vigil;
Lord, be with us as we keep vigil for Molly.
Help us remember that we do so in your strength and that, even though we are scattered around the world, your love enfolds us all.
I will go into the Cathedral here and light candles for us all at 1.30 am GMT.
Love

We learn in the retreating
How vast an one
Was recently among us.
A perished sun
Endears in the departure
How doubly more
Than all the golden presence
It was before!

This hymn has been running through my mind for a few days. It relates to us in my mind since we are a Ship of Fools adrift on the sea of life on Earth.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

I am praying through some of God’s promises for Molly…
Lord I pray that Molly will have confidence in each of the good things you have promised for her and the wonders you have in store for her:
Psalm 145
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.
14 The LORD upholds all those who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.
Lord, uphold Molly now, as you have promised and lift her up to see your glory shining upon her
James 1.
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Lord, Molly has persevered in faith under a severe trial. She is an inspiration to me and to others. Please make ready for her a crown of life.
Psalm 85:
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.
10 Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 The LORD will indeed give what is good,
and our land will yield its harvest.
13 Righteousness goes before him
and prepares the way for his steps.
Lord, surround Molly with the love that reaches down to her faithfulness, and cover her with your peace.
Psalm 91
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Lord, at this hour let Molly feel your gentle embrace.

From Isaiah 41
9You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you out
10Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Bless you, Molly, St. Seb and everyone who cares so much about you. You have proven without a doubt that there is an abundance of love in this world.
With Love and Prayers

A hymn by William Cowper, based on Lamentation 60: 15-20
Hear what God the Lord hath spoken
O my people weak and few;
Comfortless, afflicted, borken,
Fair abodes I build for you:
Thorns of heartfelt tribulation
Shall no more perplex your ways;
You shall name your walls, Salvation,
And your gates shall all be praise.
Then, like streams that feed the garden,
Pleasures without end shall flow;
For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
All his bounty shall bestow:
Still in undisturbed possession,
Peace and righteousness shall reign;
Never shall you feel oppression,
Hear the voice of war again.
You no more your suns descending,
Waning moons no more shall see;
But your griefs forever ending,
Find eternal noon in me;
God shall rise, and shining o'er you,
Change to day the gloom of night;
He, the Lord shall be your glory,
God your everlasting light.
Thank you Lord, for all your good promises to each of us. Hold Molly safe now in the knowledge of the pleasures without end which you have in store for her.

O God, give us your shielding,
O God, give us your holiness,
O God, give us your comfort
and your peace at the hour of our death
Christ, draw near to us,
little people, trembling and most wretched,
rowing through the infinite storm
of this age;
and bring us safely
to the most beautiful haven of life.

I'll sign up for 7 til 8am tomorrow please.
Been singing Winona's "Testify to Love" for Molly this evening. If you don't know the lyrics, they're here - the song is on the Touched by an angel CD.
quote:
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
--------------------
All shall be well
And all shall be well
And all manner of things shall be well.

Now, I know that we have a time difference here and it is just after lunchtime in the States; but it is cold and dark over here. And I love the words to this, I think they say it all really. So this is in the hope of a restful afternoon, a comfortable evening and a peaceful night ahead...
Ar hyd y nos (all through the night)
with melody
Sleep my love, and peace attend thee
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will lend thee,
All through the night,
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
O'er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night.
Love, to thee my thoughts are turning
All through the night
All for thee my heart is yearning,
All through the night.
Though sad fate our lives may sever
Parting will not last forever,
There's a hope that leaves me never,
All through the night.
Angels watching ever round thee,
All through the night,
In thy slumbers close surround thee,
All through the night,
They should of all fears disarm thee,
No forebodings should alarm thee,
They will let no peril harm thee,
All through the night.

Checking in for my vigil, this time with Edna St Vincent Millay*.
Afternoon on a Hill
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
*Note: guys, make sure that you're not breaking copyright with the lyrics and poems and prayers you post here, okay? I would hate to have to edit aubstantial portions of your posts out of this thread when all's said and done. Thanks.

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come unto me, and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus, as I was
weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till travelling days are done.

I am planning to go over to church to do some organ prac for a couple of hours from around 3pm-5pm my time (4am-6am). I will dedicate my practice to you Molly, as a prayer. When I get home I'll post what I played for you.
Thou knowest Lord, the secrets of our hearts.
Shut not, shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayers,
But spare us Lord, spare us Lord most holy,
O God, O God, most mighty!
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
Thou most worthy Judge eternal:
Suffer us not, suffer us not at our last hour
for any pains of death, for any pains of death
to fall, to fall from thee.
Amen.

From Psalm 32:
Therefore let all who are faithful
offer prayer to you;
at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters
shall not reach them.
You are a hiding-place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.
God, grant Miss Molly a 'hiding-place' within the hollow of your hand, free from distress, free from trouble, surrounded by the prayers and love of her brothers and sisters, and upheld by the power of your loving saving power. Amen.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that nothing, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8.35
Am on line now and praying.

Here is another poem by Emily Dickinson
Setting Sail
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea-
Past the houses, past the headlands,
Into deep eternity!
Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?

(Lines found in the Bible of Major Malcolm Boyle, killed in action after the landing on D-Day, June 1944.)
If I should never see the moon again
Rising red gold across the harvest field,
Or feel the stinging of soft April rain,
As the brown earth her hidden treasures yield;
If I should never taste the salt sea spray
As the ship beats her course against the breeze,
Or smell the dog-rose and the new-mown hay,
Or moss and primroses beneath the tree;
If I should never hear the thrushes wake
Long before sunrise in the glimmering dawn,
Or watch the huge Atlantic rollers break
Against the rugged cliffs in baffling scorn;
If I have said goodbye to stream and wood,
To the wide ocean and the green clad hill,
I know that He who made this world so good
Has somewhere made a heaven better still.
This I bear witness with my latest breath
Knowing the love of God, I fear not death.

As I read these prayers I add my own to them. My voice lifts in song for you Miss Molly, thankyou so much for being you and providing us all with so much, for being such a part of our community.

'Come unto me and rest,
lay down thou weary one lay down,
thy head upon my breast'"

I have been praying the BCP daily devotions for individuals and families. Here's the one for "At the Close of Day"
At the Close of Day
Psalm 134
Behold now, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, *
you that stand by night in the house of the LORD.
Lift up your hands in the holy place and bless the LORD; *
the LORD who made heaven and earth bless you out of Zion.
A Reading
Lord, you are in the midst of us and we are called by your Name: Do not forsake us, O Lord our God. Jeremiah 14:9,22
Lord, you now have set your servant free *
to go in peace as you have promised;
For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *
whom you have prepared for all the world to see;
A Light to enlighten the nations, *
and the glory of your people Israel.
[[Prayers for ourselves and others may follow. It is appropriate that prayers of thanksgiving for the blessings of the day, and penitence for
our sins, be included.]]
Lord, bless your servant, Miss Molly. Help her in her illness and pain, ease her passing into Glory, and bless all those who grieve at her suffering. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and
ever. Amen.
The Collect
Visit this place, O Lord, and drive far from it all snares of the
enemy; let your holy angels dwell with us to preserve us in
peace; and let your blessing be upon us always; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
The almighty and merciful Lord, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
bless us and keep us. Amen

Praying for comfort in her breathing and pain at this moment, Lord God, hear my prayer.
Amen

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little – but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me – but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone
It’s all part of the Master’s plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends you know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me – but let me go.

(Found st Bart's the great, on time, but couldn't get in because they were filming there (quite a lot of films have scenes there) so I went to St B the less, which is the chapel for st B's hospital. As it happened I spent half an hour listening to a mass being said, and the Advent themes of waiting on joyful expectation resounded with me so much. The priest there will be praying as well now--so many people have been touched by this)

"My dear," came the voice of the parson from where he sat listening to every word [Isy] uttered,
"my dear, nothing but the hand of the Son of Man will come near you out of the dark,
soft-stroking your heart, and closing up the terrible wound into it. In the name of God, the saviour o' men, I tell you, daughter, the day will come when you will smile in the very face of
the Lord himself, at the thought of what he has brought you through!
Chapter XII - Mr. Roberston - 'Salted with Fire' - George MacDonald

I will pray 3am til 4am after Eanswyth.
I might not be able to post online, though. Limbs are still falling out of trees from the ice storm, and my power is not guaranteed. It's flickering off and on crazily.
God's power is always available however, and I will meet Him to pray for Molly, St Seb, Marion, and Molly's family by candlelight if I'm not on Ship.

They took from their surroundings what was needed... and made of it something more.

Was unable to get online and sign on for my hour (silly software problems), so I gave up quickly and just prayed. Kept coming back to the first verse of one of my favorite Advent hymns:
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our frears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee.

Signing in for my turn.
I heard this song on my way home from work and it made me happy through my tears. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
to lay aside his crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,
while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
while millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.
And when from death I'm free I'll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
and through eternity I'll sing on.

I've lit candles, and prayed throughout the day. Molly, what an exceptional woman you are! ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)
My candles are now just pools of light, but my prayers for you will continue on...

Almighty God, you have surrounded us with a great cloud of witnesses: Grant that we, encouraged by the good example of your servant, Molly (Linda), may persevere in running the race that is set before us, until at last we may with her attain to your eternal joy; through Jesus Christ, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, onefGod, for ever and ever. Amen.
Almighty God, by your Holy Spirit you have made us one with your saints in heaven and on earth: Grant that in our earthly pilgrimage we may always be supported by this fellowship of love and prayer, and know ourselves to be surrounded by their witness to your power and mercy. We ask this for the sake of Jesus Christ, in whom all our intercessions are acceptable through the Spirit, and who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Dying, Christ destroyed our death.
Rising, Christ restored our life.
Christ will come again in glory.
As in baptism, Molly put on Christ,
so in Christ may Molly soon be clothed with Glory.
Praying for Molly's comfort and for peace in the hearts of all her family and friends.
Thank you God, for the love that binds us together.
