Miss Me - But Let Me Go<br />
When I come to the end <strong>of</strong> the road<br />
And the sun has set for me<br />
I want no rites in a gloom filled room<br />
Why cry for a soul set free!<br />
Miss me a little - but not too long<br />
And not with your head bowed low<br />
Remember the love we once shared<br />
Miss me - But let me go!<br />
For this journey we all must take<br />
And each must go alone<br />
It’s all part <strong>of</strong> the master plan<br />
A step on the road to home<br />
When you are lonely and sick at heart<br />
Go to the friends we know<br />
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds<br />
Miss me - But let me go!<br />

Hymn: Lord Of All hopefullness<br />
Lord <strong>of</strong> all hopefulness, Lord <strong>of</strong> all joy,<br />
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares can destroy,<br />
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,<br />
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />
Lord <strong>of</strong> all eagerness, Lord <strong>of</strong> all faith,<br />
Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe,<br />
Be there at our labors, and give us, we pray,<br />
Your strength in our hearts, Lord at the noon <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />
Lord <strong>of</strong> all kindliness, Lord <strong>of</strong> all grace,<br />
Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace,<br />
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,<br />
Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />
Lord <strong>of</strong> all gentleness, Lord <strong>of</strong> all calm,<br />
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,<br />
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,<br />
Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end <strong>of</strong> the day.

When I Look Back Upon My Life<br />
When I look back upon my life, a changing path I see.<br />
Sometines steep and difficult, sometimes wide and free.<br />
At times I travelled all alone, at others with good friends,<br />
some days the path was straight and true, on some days it had bends.<br />
Some paths the corss, and some they merge, while others never meet.<br />
Some paths are long and arduous, some short and imcomplete.<br />
One’s journey may be difficult, with tials so hard to bear,<br />
while others take such easy steps, it all seems so unfair.<br />
We all can turn and face the past, and see our route through life.<br />
We see the creossroads that we met, the joy, the pain, the strife.<br />
Success and failure, good and bad, the choices that we made.<br />
The blessings brought by happy times, the prices that we paid.<br />
We all must walk our path through life and try to be content,<br />
with all encountered on the way, the tests that we are sent.<br />
And if we reach our journey’s end with hearts refined and true<br />
we then must tread a different path and life will start anew.<br />
We may not see our pathway’s end, for as on earth we go<br />
The limit <strong>of</strong> our mortal sight horizons all we know.<br />
But do not fear, for this we learn in many things we do<br />
beyond horizons <strong>of</strong>ten lie a new and better view

Hymn: Imortal Invisable<br />
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,<br />
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,<br />
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient <strong>of</strong> Days,<br />
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.<br />
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,<br />
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;<br />
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above<br />
Thy clouds which are fountains <strong>of</strong> goodness and love.<br />
To all life Thou givest, to both great and small;<br />
In all life Thou livest, the true life <strong>of</strong> all;<br />
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,<br />
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee.<br />
Great Father <strong>of</strong> Glory, pure Father <strong>of</strong> Light<br />
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;<br />
All laud we would render, O help us to see:<br />
’Tis only the splendor <strong>of</strong> light hideth Thee.<br />
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,<br />
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,<br />
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient <strong>of</strong> Days,<br />
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
Tribute: Jude Crook<br />
Final Prayer: Father Charles<br />
Reading: Father Charles<br />
Do not stand at my grave and weep<br />
I am not there. I do not sleep.<br />
I am a thousand winds that blow.<br />
I am the diamond glints on snow.<br />
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.<br />
I am the gentle autumn rain.<br />
When you awaken in the morning’s<br />
hush<br />
I am the swift uplifting rush<br />
Of quiet birds in circled flight.<br />
I am the s<strong>of</strong>t stars that shine at night.<br />
Do not stand at my grave and cry;<br />
I am not there. I did not die.<br />
