Last Rites
(1245, 1425 on 27 Oct, 2021)
You have no right to Last Rites.
Such is a privilege bestowed upon
The condemned by the people of God
Where opportunity to convey them is provided:
Prayers, confessions, and authoritative pronouncements
Of forgiveness from the Almighty of all sins
In the name of the Triune God.
You have an appointment for judgment
By the holy God in whose image
You were made and which image you defiled
By your sin in Adam, your father,
And by your own personal sins.
Repent, then, before you die
And free your righteous Savior and Judge
(From His duty to punish, He won’t budge.)
To make a wonderful and mighty transfer,
Putting all your guilt upon Himself.
There is to be found no greater wealth
Than deliverance from that eternal fire,
So jump upon it with all desire!
