Song background:

My Original hymn "O Lord Comfort Us" is dedicated to my Grandma and all of her siblings. All of her siblings pasted away except her youngest and still living sister is still alive.

This hymn talks about that when we lost a dear friend or a family member, we are praying for grief for ouselves and others. This hymn is taken out my heart with no scripture references but as a testimony that Jesus can only heal us when we lost that someone we love dear.

This hymn can be perform at a funeral service or sarament meeting because it has the sacrament ordiance in the 4th verse.

Hope you enjoy my original hymn, "O Lord Comfort Us".

Lyrics: 1. O Lord comfort us with the gracious Hand,
Through Heav'nly Father's earthly land.
When friends and fam'lies sing in harmony,
My soul fills music for eternally.

2. O Lord bless us this hour we pray in thee.
Our families we have needly.
In love we remember them from the heart,
Until our hearts convince us to depart.

3. O Lord take them so that we'll say farewell
And protect their souls from the hell,
Leave their memories that we truly love,
By God who rules the earth and skies above.

4. Now dear Lord comfort us with the sacrament,
That this prayer, Lord, I bow my head.
And in this moment that I remember thee,
That ye shall comfort us, eternity.
