Before the service
In the build-up to the service there will be several pieces of music played on the organ at Westminster Abbey.Romanza by Ralph Vaughan Williams Prelude on ‘Ecce jam noctis’ Op 157 no 3 by Healey WillanFantasy on ‘O Paradise’ by Malcolm WilliamsonSospiri Op 70 by Edward Elgar, arranged by Peter HolderAs the coffin enters the Abbey the Choir of Westminster Abbey sings The Sentences.
I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayer; but spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, thou most worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from thee. Amen.I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, From henceforth blessed are the dead which die in the Lord: even so saith the Spirit; for they rest from their labours. Amen.
As the coffin and procession leave the Abbey, the sub-organist will play Fantasia in C minor by Johann Sebastian Bach
