"Lord of all Hopefulness" is a Christian hymn written by English writer Jan Struther, which was published in the enlarged edition of Songs of Praise [1] (Oxford University Press) in 1931. The hymn is used in liturgy, at weddings and at the beginning of funeral services, and is one of the most popular hymns in the United Kingdom. [2]
The service is composed of Psalms, ektenias (litanies), hymns and prayers. In its outline it follows the general order of Matins [note 2] and is, in effect, a truncated funeral service. Some of the most notable portions of the service are the Kontakion of the Departed [note 3] and the final singing of "Memory Eternal" (Slavonic: Vyechnaya Pamyat).
