Hymn ~ O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Words ~ George Mattheson: Tune ~ St. Margaret

O Love that wilt not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I owe,

That in thine ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O light that foll’west all my way,

I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;

My heart restores its borrowed ray,

That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee;

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not vain,

That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,

I dare not ask to fly from thee;

I lay in dust life’s glory dead,

And from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be

Reading ~ Feel no guilt in laughter, she'd know how much you care Author Unknown ~ Read by ~ Hollie Cradduck Feel no guilt in laughter; she'd know how much you care. Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share. You cannot grieve forever; she would not want you to. She'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do. So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared, The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you, a word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day, That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here, and fills you with the feeling that she is always near. For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart and she will live forever locked safely within your heart.

Musical Performance – Piano ~ The Feather Theme (Forest Gump) by Alan Silvestri Performed by ~ Jane South

Reading ~ Revelation 21:3-5: from English Standard Version (ESV) Read by ~ Roger Scrivens And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Hymn ~ Thine Be The Glory Words by Edmond L. Budry, Tune by Maccabaeus

Thine be the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son; Endless is the victory, Thou o'er death hast won; Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay. Thine be the glory, risen conqu'ring Son, Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won. Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom; Let the church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing; For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting. Thine be the glory, risen conqu'ring Son, Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won. No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life; Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife; Make us more than conqu'rors, through Thy deathless love: Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above. Thine be the glory, risen conqu'ring Son, Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won.

Blessing ~ The Reverend Lucy Winkett

CD Track ~ First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack

Reading ~ Oneness by Thich Nhat Hanh

Read by ~ Julia Stirling

The moment I die, I will come back to you as quickly as possible; I promise it will not take long.

Isn’t it true, I am already with you every moment? I come back to you in every moment.

Just look, feel my presence. If you want to cry, please cry. And know that I will cry with you.

The tears you shed will heal us both. Your tears are mine.

The earth I tread this morning transcends history.

Spring and winter are both present in the moment.

The young leaf and the dead leaf are really one.

My feet touch deathlessness, and my feet are yours.

Walk with me now.

Let us enter the dimensions of oneness

and see the cherry blossom in winter.

CD Track ~ When I Need You by Leo Sayer
