Dead March” (Chopin).

OPENING 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. (John xi. 25, 26.)

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John xv. 13.)

I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, From henceforth blessed are the dead that die in the Lord: even so, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labours.
