Hymn

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colours,
he made their tiny wings.
All things bright etc.

The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset, and the morning
that brightens up the sky,
All things bright etc.

The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden,
he made them every one.
All things bright etc.

He gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell,
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well.
All things bright etc.

Prayer of Thanksgiving

Hymn

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering 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, conquering Son,
endless is the victory 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 is living, death has lost its sting.
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won.

No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is nought without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors,
through thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won.

I will miss so much a lady
Who lives peacefully now and still
She showed us how to fight in life
She showed she had a will
She showed us courage and compassion
I wont forget her lovely face
She did so much for all of us
She is impossible to replace
She truly was the family key
It’s hard to see another
She was the force behind us all
Above all, she was our MOTHER
