HEATON, St. Gabriel's Church.
St Gabriel's Church
O Eternal Lord God, who
holdest all souls in life:
We beseech thee to shed forth upon
the whole church in Paradise and on
earth the bright beams of thy light
and heavenly comfort; and grant
that we, following the good examples
of those who have loved and served
thee here and are now at rest, may at
the last enter with them into the ful-
ness of thine unending joy; through
Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen
Their inheritance shall remain forever and their joy shall not be blotted out Amen.
