The Lord Is My Shepherd
I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
Grant Him Thy Eternal Rest
Rest In Peace
Peace Perfect Peace

Only Goodnight, Beloved Not Farewell

To Live In The Hearts Of Those We Love Is Not To Die

Children’s Texts

Safe In The Arms Of Jesus
There Is A Home For Little Children
Above The Bright Blue Sky
Jesus Called A Little Child
A Tiny Flower Lent Not Given
To Bud On Earth And Bloom In Heaven

Two Lines

Father in Thy Gracious Keeping
Leave We Now Our Loved One Sleepinf

If Love Could Have Saved You
You Would Never Have Died

His Life A Beautiful Memory
His Absence A Silent Grief

Tenderly I Treasure The Past
With Memories That Will Always Last

A Last Goodbye You Didn’t Say
But In My Heart You Will Always Stay

In Heaven You Rest, No Worry, No Pain
God Bless You Till We Meet Again

Deep in My Heart You Will Always Stay
Loved And Remembered Every Day

Out Of Depths I Have Cried To
Thee Lord – ‘Hear My Prayer’

On Earth One Gentle Soul Less
In Heaven One Angel More 

Four Lines

Some Broken Hearts Never Mend,
Some Memories Never End,
Some Tears Never Dry,
My Love For You Will Never Die.

You Left Us With Happy Memories
That Can Never Be Taken Away,
But You’re Missed So Much By All Of Us,
More Than Words Can Say.

Our Family Chain Is Broken
Nothing Seems The Same
But As God Calls Us One By One,
The Links Will Join Again.

God Saw You Getting Weary,
A Cure Was Not To Be,
So He Put His Arms Around You
And Whispered “Come To Me”.
