Memorial Service in Celebration
of the Life of
“Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.”
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Hymns
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come,
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
than when we’d first begun.
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As thou hast been Thou forever will be.
Refrain: Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness; Lord unto me!
Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest; Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness; To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth; Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow; Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
