Ordet Page #6

And no song is heard.

In the bright morning.

Flowers dance, buds burst!

By dusk a hailstorm.

Lays them in the dust.

Many a babe smiled.

In the bright morning light.

That lay still and dead.

That very night!

It will be a big gathering.

The priest will be here soon.

We'd better let them finish

their coffee first.

Yes.

Well, Inger...

I suppose

we'd better fasten the lid on you.

Mikkel!

Father!

Mikkel, let the pastor say

a prayer first.

Of course, she must be seen off

with bands playing.

That must be the priest.

Shall I admit the public?

Mikkel, you are breaking my heart.

All right, we'll wait.

Hello, Poul.

There she is.

There must be some purpose in it,

or it would never have happened.

Spoken like a true believer.

Remember, Mikkel Borgen,

even pain can be beautiful.

Yes, all that about beauty

is very important, of course.

No news of Johannes?

We've searched everywhere,

but no one's seen a sign of him.

It seems you'd better prepare

for the worst.

Pray God he's been granted

his release.

Shall I let them in?

First let me just...

Death is the gateway to eternity.

Through that gate

this young woman

has gone ahead of her dear ones.

If we grieve,

it is only because

we are thinking of ourselves, our loss,

as we have no reason

to sorrow for her.

So you must be thankful

for the bright and wonderful memories

you have of her,

for the bright and wonderful hope

you have for her in the life to come.

And to you, Mikkel Borgen,

I would like to say this.

If you can live your life

with the memories you have of her,

if you can raise your children

in a way that would gladden her,

then the two of you

who loved each other

will meet again and be united,

never to part.

Shall we say the Lord's Prayer

in silence?

Amen.

Thank you for those heartfelt words.

There is nothing to thank me for.

Father, look.

Peter, is it you coming here?

Forgive me for intruding, Morten Borgen,

but will you take my hand?

It was I that struck you.

I forgot my Saviour's words.

I have asked His forgiveness.

So must you.

It's all in the past now.

No, because I must say something

in front of this coffin,

something you must all know

before Inger is borne out.

I know you mean well, Peter,

but enough's been said.

I want to say that lnger's place

shall not remain empty.

Anne, come here.

- Have you brought Anne?

- Here she is.

Only our Lord can repay you.

Now she is yours.

Anne...

Now I have only my Saviour.

I shall never be parted from Him.

Oh, Peter.

This does the heart good.

Be gentle with her here.

Anne, now you must be the sun

that shines on us all.

Thanks, Anders.

Peter!

Thank God!

Tears at last.

Karen, come now.

Because now it's all over.

Goodbye, Inger.

Thank you for everything.

It was all good.

We shall meet again soon.

Yes, Mikkel, we do meet again.

Goodbye for the present, Inger.

God gladden your soul.

Maren, say goodbye to mummy.

Goodbye, mummy.

She doesn't understand.

She's too young.

And the rest of us, Pastor,

we don't understand, either.

That is true, Borgen.

Goodbye, Inger, and thank you.

Anders, the lid.

No! No, you mustn't

take her from me.

- You mustn't part us.

- No, Mikkel.

Come, Mikkel.

Her soul is with God.

You can see it is not here.

But her body,

I loved her body, too.

Be strong and say your farewell.

Remember you are a son

of Borgensgaard.

Goodbye, little darling.

Goodbye, Inger lass.

Johannes.

Yes, father.

Father!

Did you say "father"?

Is your vision restored, Johannes?

Has your reason returned?

Yes, my reason has returned.

None of you has thought of asking

God to return Inger to you.

Johannes, now you mock God.

No.

It is you who mock God

with your half-heartedness.

If you had prayed to God,

he would have heard your prayers.

What's this,

over my dead wife's body?

Mikkel, my brother.

Why, among all the believers

is there no one who believes?

Inger..

You must rot,

because the times are rotten.

Put the lid on, then.

Do hurry up, uncle.

The Child.

The Child.

The greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Do hurry up.

Do you believe I can do it?

Yes, uncle.

Thy faith is great.

It shall be done

according to thy will.

Look at your mother.

When I speak the name of Jesus...

she will rise.

Hear me, thou dead one.

He's insane.

Is it insane to want to save lives?

Johannes!

Trust in God.

Jesus Christ.

If it is possible,

let her return to life.

Give me the word.

The word that can return

the dead to life.

Inger..

In the name of Jesus Christ

I say unto thee:

Arise!

Inger!

Inger.

He is still the God of old,

the God of Elijah,

eternal and the same.

Eternal and the same.

The Child?

Is it alive?

Yes, Inger.

It is alive.

It lives with God.

With God?

With God?

Yes.

I have found your faith.

Now life is beginning for us.

Life...

Yes.

Life.

Life.
