BENEDICTION

Our Father in Heaven, we thank thee for the peace and sweet assurance that we have felt here. We thank thee for the privilege that has been ours of association with thy son, President George Albert Smith, in whose passing we have sorrowed, and in whose life we have found reason to rejoice.

Grant our Father that the spirit of love and peace and kindliness, which was exemplified by him may move increasingly among men, and that the principles of the Gospel by thy Son, Jesus Christ, to which he devoted his life may speedily move forward in the earth.

We thank thee for the assurance of life everlasting, and for the promise of renewal of association with men such as he whom thou hast taken home.

Comfort and sustain his family our Father, and as he so often prayed and pleaded, grant that we may all live so as to find our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life  Rev. 21:27  D&C 132:19

Go forth with us from here with thy peace and protection, with thy guidance and direction and with renewed earnestness in pursuing thy purposes, and let the spirit of thy Son, the Prince of Peace, prevail in the earth, we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
