Amazing Grace Lyrics John Newton (1725-1807) Stanza 6 anon. 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. T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun. 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. 4
An August Mourning Come gather friends and family to the sight at Dieppe Park. It's the 3rd Saturday in August and the service is about to start. United in reverence we stand, 10 A.M is the time, Dress accordingly, we're here rain or shine. The fountain marks our sanctuary and when the winds do blow, its waters refresh, and renews the names on the bricks below. As we approach the memorial of those we hold so dear, Our eyes are focused on the area where their names appear, Contented to know those we mourn will always be part of our team, Never forgotten, remembering the faces that by fate no longer are seen. Coming back each and every year gives comfort to an aching heart, Our caring presence and support is a way of doing our part. "Dear Father in Heaven when you meet our friends and loved ones face to face, Please convey our message that here on earth their memory is alive at this place." Gerry Vidler 5
I WILL KNOW Take my hand For I have not long to go My Journey on earth is at its end Of death I have no fear Only departing those held dear Press your hand against my cheek Now I feel your touch no more To the heavens my spirit soars My days of care have left your side The clouds of rain are now my tears Missing loved ones I hold dear Lift your eyes to heaven above From the world I leave behind Far above the stars that shine Look to view their nightly glow I have left you with my song To the family I once belonged Sing it to the Heavens above O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. 6
