Hymn.

Margaret, our kin, our sister and our neighbour,
one of our own, you walked our streets and closes,
now at your shrine we celebrate your resting at home among us.

Here in this church you knelt in adoration;
in the Lord’s presence offering your praises,
eager to meet your God and be united in sweet Communion.

Margaret, we praise your life of quiet witness,
following Jesus in your daily living,
bringing His love and presence to the work-place: showing His goodness.

In death you shared the Passion of Our Saviour,
bearing your pain with cheerfulness & patience.
In His Five Wounds you sought your inspiration to remain faithful.

Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
to You we pray that Margaret may be worthy
soon to be numbered with Your Saints in glory, singing Your praises.
