OPENING SENTENCES

Jesus said. I am the Resurrection, and I am the life; he who believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and who ever lives and believes in me shall never die. - John 11:25-26

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His compassion never fails: every morning they are renewed. - u1111e.111a1io11s 3:22-23

Jesus said, Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. - John N: I

l am ure that neither death, nor life, nor angels. nor principalities, nor powers, nor things pre­sent, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth. nor anything else in alJ creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Ro111011s 8:38-39

If we live, we Jive to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die. we are the Lord 's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living. - Ro111a11 .1· 14:8-9

We brought nothing into the world, and we take nothing out. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away: Blessed be the Name of the Lord. - Joh 1:21

OPENING HYMN .......................................................................... Praise To The Lord The Almighty"

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; 0 my soul, praise Him, He is thy health and salvation; All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near, Joining in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth, Shieldeth thee gently from harm, or when fainting sustaineth: Hast thou not seen how thy heart's wishes have been Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee, Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee; Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, If to the end He befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord! 0 let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him! Let the Amen sound from His people again: Gladly for ay we adore Him.

THE COLLECT FOR THE DEPARTED

THE LESSON ................ Proverbs 31:10-31 ..................... read by Kimberely Smith (granddaughter)

HYMN ....................................................................................................................... "The King Of Love"

The King of love my Shepherd is, In death's dark vale I fear no ill Whose goodness faileth never; With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; I nothing lack if I am His Thy rod and staff my comfort still, And He is mine forever. The Cross before to guide me.

Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me.

Thou spread'st a Table in my sight; Thy unction grace bestoweth; And oh, what transport of delight From Thy pure Chalice floweth!

And so through au the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever.

PSALM 130

Out of the depths have l cried unto thee, 0 Lord. 2. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, 0 Lord, who shall stand? 4. But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 5. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 6. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 7. Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 8. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

NEW TESTAMENT READING ........... 11 Corinthians 4:16 - 5:9 ........................ Raymond Oriakhi

HYMN ............................................................................................................................. '' And Can It .Be''

And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Saviour's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me!

'Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father's throne above -So free, so infinite His grace -Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; For, 0 my God, it found out me.

No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ, my own.

THE SERMON

THE CREED

President: Let us with confidence and hope confess the faith into which we were baptized, as we say, All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ,

His only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died. and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven. and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgive­ness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

President: All:

President: All:

President:

Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give Him thanks and praise.

It is right and a good_ and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give You thanks, Father Almighty, Everlasting God; Through Jesus Christ our Lord; Who rose victorious from the dead, and comforts us with the blessed hope of life eternal. For to Your faithful people, 0 Lord, life is changed, not ended: and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens. Therefore we praise You, joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the com­pany of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of Your Name.

All: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might; Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

President: Sovereign Lord and Father, to You be glory and praise for ever. In Your boundless wisdom You brought creation into being; in Your great love You fashioned us in Your image; in Your tender compassion You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour, to share our human nature; in the power of the Holy Spirit, He overcame the power of sin and death and brought Your people to new birth as first fruits of Your new creation .

President: All:

On the night He was betrayed, He took bread, and when He had given thanks to You, He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said: "Take this and eat it: This is My Body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of Me." After supper He took the cup of wine: and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them and said: "Drink this, all of you: This is My Blood of the New Covenant which is shed for you, and for many for the forgiveness.of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of Me."

Therefore, father, according to the command of your dearly beloved Son. We remember His death We proclaim His resurrection We await His coming in glory.

President: And we offer you, Father, our sacrifice of thanks and praise. Send Your Holy Spirit on these gifts of bread and wine that they may become the Body and Blood of Your Son, Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer. As we partake of this holy food of new and unending life, may Your Holy Spirit establish us as a royal priesthood with the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all Your sons and daughters who share in Your eternal inheritance; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. With Him and in Him and through Him, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we worship You, Father Almighty, with all who stand before You in earth and heaven, in songs of everlasting praise:

All: Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours forever and ever. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER ..................................................................................................... Alison Mason

President: All :

As our Saviour has taught us so we pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed by Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours now and forever. Amen.

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD

President: We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. All: Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.

THE INVITATION

President: My brothers and sisters in Christ, draw near and receive His Body which He gave for you, and His Blood, which He shed for you. Remember that he died for you, and feed on Him in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving.

COMMUNION HYMNS .................................................................................... ''How Great Thou Art''

HOW GREAT THOU ART

0 Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hand has made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed.

Chorus:

"Lead Me, Guide Me"

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee: How great Thou art, how great Thou art. Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee: How great Thou art, how great Thou art.

When thro' the woods and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from loftly mountain grandeur, And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;

And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart; Then I shall bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim; my God, how great Thou art.

LEAD ME, GUIDE ME

I am weak and I need Thy strength and pow'r. To help me over my weakest hour. Let me through the darkness Thy face to see. Lead me, Oh Lord, lead me.

Chorus: Lead me, guide me along the way, For if You lead me, I cannot stray, Lord, let me walk each day with Thee, Lead me, Oh Lord, lead me.

Help me tread in the paths of righteousness, Be my Aid when Satan and sin oppress, I am putting all of my trust in Thee, Lead me, Oh Lord, lead me.

I am lost, if You take Your Hand from me, I am blind without Thy light to see, Lord, just always let me Thy servant be, Lead me, Oh Lord, lead me.

RECESSIONAL HYMN ................................................................................................. ''It Is Finished''

There's a line that's been drawn through the ages On that line stands the old rugged cross On that cross a battle is raging For the gain of man's soul or his loss.

Chorus: It is finished, the battle is over It is finished, there'll be no more war It is finished, the end of the conflict It is finished and Jesus is Lord.

On one side march the forces of evil All the demons and devils of hell On the other the angels of glory And they meet on Golgotha's hill.

The earth shakes with force of the conflict And the sun refuses to shine For there hangs God's Son in the balance And then through the darkness He cries.

GRAVESIDE HYMN .................................................................................................. ''It's Alright Now''

IT'S ALRIGHT NOW

"When Peace Like A River'' "Farther Along"

"The Last Mile Of The Way"

There was a time I travelled a lonely sinful road, Beneath a heavy burden bending low; But now all things are diff'rent, for Jesus took my load, It's alright now, I'm His I know.

Chorus: It's alright now, for I am in my Saviour's care, It's alright now, my Saviour hears and answers prayer; He'll walk beside me 'til I climb the heav'nly stair, And ev'rything is alright now.

A-down a lonely pathway without a friend to guide, I walked in sin and sorrow all alone; 'Til Jesus came and found me, and drew me to His side, It's alright now, for I'm His own.

No more in sin I wander, no more in darkness roam, The Lord has placed my feet on higher ground; Each day new heights I'm gaining, my soul is nearing home, It's alright now, I'm heaven bound.

!

WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way When sorrows, like sea billows, roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul."

Chorus: It is well ... with my soul ... It is well, it is well with my soul.

If Satan should buffet, if trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin - Oh the bliss of this glorious thought­My sin - not in part, but the whole, Is nail'd to His Cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 0 my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to livel If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life, Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope[ blessed rest of my soul!

FARTHER ALONG

Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder Why it should be thus all the day long, While there are others living about us, Never molested tho' in the wrong.

Chorus: Farther along, we'll know all about it, Farther along, we'll understand why, Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine, We'll understand it all by and by.

When death has come and taken our loved ones It leaves our homes so lonely and drear; Then do we wonder why others prosper, Living so wicked year after year.

"Faithful to death" said our loving Master, A few more days to labour and wait; Toils of the road will then seem as nothing, As we sweep thru the beautiful gate.

When we see Jesus coming in glory, When He comes from His home in the sky; Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion, We'll understand it all by and by.

THE LAST MILE OF THE WAY

If I walk in the pathway of duty, If I work till the close of the day; I shall see the great King in His beauty When I've gone the last mile of the way.

Chorus: When I've gone the last mile of the way, I will rest at the close of the day, And I know there are joys that await me When I've gone the last mile of the way.

If for Christ I proclaim the glad story, If I seek for His sheep gone astray; I am sure He will show me His glory When I've gone the last mile of the way.

Here the dearest of ties we must sever, Tears of sorrow are seen ev'ry day ; But no sickness, no sighing forever When I've gone the last mile of the way.

And if here I have earnestly striven And have tried all His will to obey; 'Twill enhance all the rapture of heaven When I've gone the last mile of the way.
