 And Lord, we thank you for that hope, how desperately we need it. For death strikes fear into our heart and discouragement of the world would bring us to cease in our ministry, but you have called us to go and to tell, to trust. And Lord, how I pray that that is what you would work through your word today. I pray it in Jesus' name. Amen. As we close, we're going to sing, I hope fittingly, Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus. Forget the hymn number, it's in your bulletin.
