Statement of Purpose Prayer Hymn - How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed: 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 through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze: Then sings my soul 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: Then sings my soul 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!
Scripture ~ Psalm 121 [NLT] Read by Ben Mummery I look up to the mountains does my help come from there? My help comes from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth! He will not let you stumble and fall; the one who watches over you will not sleep. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps. The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not hurt you by day, nor the moon at night. The LORD keeps you from all evil and preserves your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Eulogy Darryl Mummery Cheryl Walkear A Life In Pictures It s Your World Now The Eagles Prayer Scripture ~John 14:1-6 [NLT] Read by Rohan Mummery Jesus said] Don t be troubled. You trust in God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father s home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there. No, we don t know, Lord, Thomas said. We haven t any idea where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus told him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me
Message Hymn Abide With Me Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life s little day; earth s joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see you never change, O Lord: abide with me! I need your presence every passing hour: what but your grace can foil the tempter s power? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I have no fear with you at hand to bless; ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death s sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still if you abide with me. Hold now your cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies! Heaven s morning breaks and earth s vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
Prayer Recessional Music Amazing Grace Susan Boyle At Bowman s Forest Cemetery Scripture Committal Prayer Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
