Ted

Dr.Ted Herbert, Vice-Principal of the International Christian College in Glasgow, speaking at his home church a few days before his death and just a few weeks after suddenly being diagnosed with cancer.



Master, You only are immortal, the creator and maker of all:
and we are mortal, formed from the dust of the earth,
and unto earth shall we return.
For so you ordained when you created me, saying:
'Dust you are and to dust you shall return.'
All of us go down to the dust,
yet weeping at the grave, we make our song:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
