WELCOME AND INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS:

PRAYER:

HYMN:

TELL ME THE OLD OLD STORY

TELL me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love,
Tell me the story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.
Tell me the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

TELL me the story slowly,
That I may take it in –
That wonderful redemption,
God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often
For I forget so soon,
The early dew of the morning
Has passed away at noon.

TELL me the story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember! I’m the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save,
Tell me the story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.

FAMILY TRIBUTES:

HYMN:

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

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 flowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

THE cold in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

HE gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

COMMITTAL AND BENEDICTION:

HYMN:

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

WHAT a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer.
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear –
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer.

HAVE we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

ARE we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge –
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In his arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
