1 George Herbert Walker Bush JUNE 12, 1924 ~ NOVEMBER 30, 2018 You have been raised with Christ, n seek things that are above, where Christ is, seated at right h of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, n you also will be revealed with him in glory. Colossians 3:1 4

Moses Hogan R e c e p t i o n o f t h e B o d y The Celebrant meets body at door of church says With faith in Jesus Christ, we receive body of our bror George Herbert Walker Bush for burial. Let us pray with confidence to God, Giver of life, that he will raise him to perfection in company of saints. Silence may be kept; after which Celebrant says Deliver your servant, George, O Sovereign Lord Christ, from all evil, set him free from every bond; that he may rest with all your saints in eternal habitations; where with Far Holy Spirit you live reign, one God, for ever ever. Amen. Let us also pray for all who mourn, that y may cast ir care on God, know consolation of his love. Silence may be kept; after which Celebrant says Almighty God, look with pity upon sorrows of your servants for whom we pray. Remember m, Lord, in mercy; nourish m with patience; comfort m with a sense of your goodness; lift up your countenance upon m; give m peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O p e n i n g S e n t e n c e s I am resurrection life, saith Lord; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; whosoever liveth believeth in me shall never die. I know that my Redeemer liveth, that he shall st at latter day upon earth; though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself mine eyes shall behold, not as a stranger. For none of us liveth to himself, no man dieth to himself. For if we live, we live unto Lord; if we die, we die unto Lord. Wher we live, refore, or die, we are Lord s. Blessed are dead who die in Lord; even so saith Spirit, for y rest from ir labors. National Anm The Star-Spangled Banner (st) Francis Scott Key 1

4 Celebrant: Celebrant: The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. T h e C o l l e c t O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of thy servant George Herbert Walker Bush, grant him an entrance into l of light joy, in fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth reigneth with e Holy Spirit, one God, now for ever. Amen. T h e F i r s t L e s s o n : Lamentations 3:22 26, (sit) Marshall Lloyd Bush The steadfast love of LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; y are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, says my soul, refore I will hope in him. The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for salvation of LORD. For LORD will not cast off for ever, but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve sons of men. The Word of Lord. Thanks be to God. P s a l m 2 3 : King James Version Barbara Pierce Bush, Noelle Lucila Bush Elizabeth Dwen Andrews The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his Name s sake. Yea, though I walk through valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod thy staff, y comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness mercy shall follow me all days of my life, I will dwell in house of LORD for ever. Tribute The Honorable James A. Baker, III 61st Secretary of State 2

5 Tribute The Honorable George Prescott Bush Commissioner, Texas General L Office T h e S e c o n d L e s s o n : 1 Corinthians 12:31b 13:13 Nancy Ellis LeBlond Sosa Georgia Grace Koch And I will show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in tongues of mortals of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, underst all mysteries all knowledge, if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, if I h over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, y will come to an end; as for tongues, y will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, we prophesy only in part; but when complete comes, partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but n we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; n I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, love abide, se three; greatest of se is love. The Word of Lord. Thanks be to God.

Glory be to e, O Lord. Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my bror would not have died. And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you. Jesus said to her, Your bror will rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again in resurrection at last day. Jesus said to her, I am resurrection life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, whoever lives believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? She said to him, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are Christ, Son of God, he who is coming into world. The Gospel of Lord. Praise be to e, O Christ.
