OPENING SENTENCES

OPENING HYMN:……..………................................. (Tune of the Happy Wanderer)....... “The Lord’s My Shepherd”

1. The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; 3. Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
He makes me down to lie Yet will I fear no ill;
In pastures green; He leadeth me For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
The quiet waters by. And staff me comfort still.

REFRAIN: 4. My table Thou hast furnished
He lives, He lives, In presence of my foes;
I know that my redeemer lives My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
He lives, He lives, And my cup overflows.
He lives within my heart.
5. Goodness and mercy all my life
2. My soul He doth restore again, Shall surely follow me,
And me to walk doth make And in God’s house forevermore
Within the paths of righteousness, My dwelling-place shall be.
E’en for His own name’s sake.

HYMN:…………......…………...................................................................................................“To God Be The Glory”

1. To God be the glory, great things He has done 2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son To every believer the promise of God
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin The vilest offender who truly believes
And opened the life-gate that all may go in That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

REFRAIN: 3. Great things He has taught us,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord great things He has done
Let the earth hear His voice And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Let the people rejoice Our wonder, our worship, when Jesus we see
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son
Give Him the glory, great things He has done

PRAYER FOR THE BEREAVED FAMILY

RECESSIONAL HYMN: ..........................................................................................“When the Roll is Call Up Yonder”

1. When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, 2. On that bright and cloudless morning
And time shall be no more, When the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair; And the glory of His resurrection share;
When the saved of earth shall gather When His chosen ones shall gather
Over on the other shore, To their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

REFRAIN: 3. Let us labor for the Master,
When the roll, is called up yonder, From the dawn till setting sun,
When the roll, is called up yonder, Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
When the roll, is called up yonder, Then when all of life is over,
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. And our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

me that you also may be where I am.”

HYMN: .......................................................................................................................“Shall We Gather At The River”

1. Shall we gather at the river, 2. On the margin of the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod, Washing up its silver spray,
With its crystal tide forever We will talk and worship ever,
Flowing by the throne of God? All the happy golden day.

REFRAIN: 3. Ere we reach the shining river,
Yes, we’ll gather at the river, Lay we every burden down;
The beautiful, the beautiful river; Grace our spirits will deliver,
Gather with the saints at the river And provide a robe and crown.
That flows by the throne of God.

HYMN: ......................................................................................................................................“How Great Thou Art”

1. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,

Consider all the worlds thy hands have made, And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed: 3. And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,

Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,

Refrain: That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: He bled and died to take away my sin.

How great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: 4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

How great thou art! How great thou art! And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration,

2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander And there proclaim, My God, how great thou art!

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,

CHORUSES: “No Grave Can Hold My Body Down”
No grave can hold my body down.
“I Know Where I'm Going” No grave can hold my body down.
I know where I am going, I know When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,
I know where I am going, I know And the dead in Christ shall rise,
Joy bells are ringing, happy children are singing No grave can hold my body down.
I know where I am going, I know.

“Meet Me By The River” “I’m Gonna Walk Those Streets of Glory”
Meet me by the river, someday I’m gonna walk those streets
Meet me by the river, not far away. of glory by and by (rept.)
When my Lord shall call me home I’m gonna walk those streets of glory
Happy, happy home beyond the skies I’m gonna sing redemption story
Meet me by the river some day. I’m gonna walk those streets of glory by and by.
