When Samuel died, all Israel
assembled and mourned him;
and they buried him at his
home in Ramah.
When the grain is ripe, the
one who scattered the seed
goes in with his sickle; the
harvest has come.
When our breath departs, we
return to the earth;
our plans may perish, but
yours do not.
We are mortals, and we return
to you, the living God;
maker of heaven, earth, sea,
and all therein.
