Affliction Sore Long Time I Bore
Physicians Were In Vain
Till Death Gave Ease And God Did Please
To Free Me From My Pain

spacer

A Good Life Is Rather To Be Chosen Than Great Riches

spacer

A Helpless Soul That Looks To Thee
Is Sure At Last Thy Face To See
The Sinner Who For Thee Doth Grieve
Thou Will`t To Happiness Receive

spacer

All Flesh Is As Grass
And All The Glory of Man
As The Flower Of Grass
That The Word Of The Lord
Endeth Forever

A Loving Wife, A Mother Dear
A Faithful Friend When She Was Here

spacer

And Dear Is The Spot Where Now He Sleeps
And Sweet The Strains Which Angels Pour
O Why Should We In Anguish Weep
He Is Not Lost But Gone Before

spacer

And God Shall Wipe Away All
The Tears From Their Eyes
And There Shall Be No More Death
Neither Sorrow Nor Crying

spacer

And So Shall We Ever Be With The Lord

And This Is The Victory That
Overcometh The World Even Our Faith

At The Going Down Of The
Sun, And In The Morning,
I Shall Remember Him

A Tiny Flower Lent, Not Given
To Bud On Earth And Bloom In Heaven

Robed In Everlasting Beauty
We Shall See Her Once Again

Than He Went Through Before

Must Enter By This Door

Your Memory Is Kept
To Love, To Cherish
And Never Forget

Come Home Dear Friends, And Leave Me Here
Where I Must Lie Till Christ Appear
In That Blest Morn I Hope To See
And Meet My Saviour In The Skies

Come Unto Me All Ye That
Are Weary And Heavily Laden
And I Will Give You Rest

spacer

Dangers Stand Thick Through All The Grounds
To Push Us To The Tomb
And Fierce Diseases Wait Around
To Hurry Mortals Home

Day After Day We Saw Him Fade
And Gently Sink Away
Yet Often In Our Hearts We Prayed
That He Might Longer Stay

Dear Is The Spot Where Our Loved One Is Laid
Dear Is Memory That Never Shall Fade

Ever With The Lord
The Just Hath Hope In Death

Father In Thy Gracious Keeping
Leave We Now Our Loved Ones Sleeping

Farewell My Dear Child I Am Now Going Home
Bright Angels Are Whispering So Sweet In My Ear
Away To My Saviour Thy Spirit We`ll Bear

For All Of Us He Did His Best
We Hope In Heaven He`ll Find Sweet Rest

spacer

For Here Have We No Continuing City
But We Seek One To Come

For Honour Liberty And Truth
He Sacrificed His Glorious Youth

For They Rest From Their Labours
And Their Works Do Follow Them

God Moves In A Mysterious Way
His Wonders To Perform

spacer

God Will Bind The Broken Chain
Closer When We Meet Again

spacer

God Saw His Footsteps Falter
And The Hill Grow Far Too Steep
So He Touched His Weary Eyelids
And Gave Our Loved One Sleep

Go Home My Wife And Children Dear
I Have Laboured For You Many A Year
I Have Always Studied For The Best
But Now I am Gone To Take My Rest

Gone From Us But Not For Ever
Still Again We Hope To Meet
When Our Earthly Course Is Finished
Round The White Throned Mercy Seat

Gone From Us But Not Forgotten
Never Shall Thy Memory Fade
Sweetest Thoughts Shall Ever Linger
Round The Spot Where Thou Art Laid

spacer

Hard, Hard Was The Stroke That Compelled Us To Part
From Our Loved Ones So Near And Dear To Our Hearts
But The Love That We Bore Them Will Dwell In Our Breast
Till We Meet Them Again In The Realms Of The Blest

spacer

He Cometh Forth Like A Flower And Is Cut Down

spacer

He Felt The Ruin Of The Fall
And Nature All Depraved
In God`s Electing Lovely Hall
His Hope Of Being Saved

spacer

He Giveth His Beloved Sleep
Until The Day Breaks
And The Shadows Flee Away

spacer

He That Believeth In Christ Hath Everlasting Life

spacer

His Languishing Head Is At Rest
It`s Thinking And Aching Heart For
His Quiet Immovable Breast
Is Heaved By Affliction No More

spacer

His Toils Are Past
His Work Is Done
And He Is Fully Blest
He Fought The Fight
The Victory Won
And Entered In To Rest

spacer

Hope Looks Beyond The Bounds Of Time
When What We Now Deplore
Shall Rise Full Immortal Prime
To Bloom And Fade No More

How Many Painful Days On Earth
Their Faunting Spirits Numbered O`er
Now They Enjoy A Heavenly Birth
They Are Not Lost But Gone Before

spacer

I Had No Time To Bid My Friends Farewell
Take Nothing Strange, Death To All
My Lot Today, Tomorrow You May Fall

I Hope To See My Pilot Face To Face
When I Have Crossed The Bar

spacer

I Know Whom I Have Believed
And Am Persuaded That He Is Able To Keep
That Which I Have Committed Unto Him
Against That Day

In Love She Lived
In Peace She Died
Her Life Was Asked
But God Denied

spacer

In Memory`s Garden We Meet Every Day

spacer

I Shall Be Satisfied When I Awake With Thy Likeness

spacer

I Shall Miss Him At Morn, I Shall Miss Him At Eve
Oh Yes He Is Gone Though It`s Hard To Believe
I Shall See Him No More Till The Clouds Clear Away
And Night Has Been Lost In One Beautiful Day

spacer

It Broke Our Hearts To Lose You
You Did Not Go Alone
For Part Of Us Went With You
The Day God Called You Home

spacer

It Is Therefore A Holy And Wholesome Thought
To Pray For The Dead
That They May Be Loosed From Sins

spacer

I Was So Long With Pain Oppressed
That Wore My Strength Away
It Made Me Long For Endless Rest
Which Never Can Decay

spacer

I Will Both Lay Me Down In Peace And Sleep
For Thou O Lord Only Makest Me Dwell In Safety

spacer

Let Us In Life, In Death
Thy Steadfast Truth Declare
And Publish With Our Latest Breath
Thy Love And Guardian Care

Life`s Race Well Run
Life`s Work Well Done
Life`s Crown Well Worn
Now Comes Rest

Little Did I Know So Soon We`d Part
God Took You Away And Broke My Heart
He Knew That He Could Ease Your Pain
Sleep Peacefully My Love, Till We Meet Again

Long Days And Nights He Bore Great Pain
Waiting For A Cure But All In Vain
Till God Above Saw What Was Best
And Took Him Home With Him To Rest

Loving Shepherd Of Thy Sheep
Keep My Lamb In Safety Keep

My Home, In Life`s Rough Way
O Teach Me From My Heart To Say
Thy Will Be Done

Know The Meaning Of The Word Gone

While Their Spirit Watches O`er
Telling Those Who Loved Them Fondly
We Are Not Dead But Gone Before

Neither Shall There Be Any More Pain
For The Former Things Have Passed Away

Not Gone From Memory, Nor From Love
To Our Father`s Home Above

Now Let Our Sorrows Cease To Flow
God Has Recalled His Own
But Let Our Hearts In Every Woe
Still Say Thy Will Be Done

Remember As Thou Passeth By
As Thou Are Now So Once Was I
As I Am Now So Thou Must Be
Therefore Prepare To Follow Me

She Did Not Fail To Do Her Best
Her Heart Was True And Tender
She Did Work For Those She Left
That`s Something To Remember

spacer

She Has Gone To Heaven Before Us
But She Turns And Waves Her Hand
Pointing To The Glorious Auras
In That Happy Happy Land

spacer

She Has Gone To The Land Of Sweet Refuge Above
Her Troubles And Trails Are All O`er
She Waits For The Dear Ones Left Here Below
On The Banks Of The Beautiful Shore

spacer

She Was With Sickness Long Oppressed
Which Brought Her To The Grave
But Now She`s Found Eternal Rest
Through Christ Who Died To Save

spacer

Sleeping Peacefully Free From Pain
In God`s Own Time We Will Meet Again

Sleep On Beloved
Sleep On And Take Thy Rest
Lay Down Thy Head Upon Thy Saviour`s Breast
We Love The Well
But Jesus Loved Thee Best
The Day Will Soon Dawn
And We Shall Meet Again

Short Was Her Sickness And Hard Was Her Pain
She Niether Did Murmer Nor Complain
But To The Lord She Did Submit
And Laid Her Case At Jesus` Feet

So Live, That Falling Into Death`s Sleep Calm
Thou Mayeth Smile While All Around Thee Weep

spacer

Sorrow Vanquished, Labour Ended, Jordan Passed

spacer

Speak Gently To The Aged One
Grieve Not The Care Worn Heart
Their Course In Life Is Nearly Run
Let Such In Peace Depart

spacer

Suffer Little Children To Come Unto Me
For Of Such Is The Kingdom Of Heaven

spacer

Sunset And Evening Star
And One Clear Call For Me
With Christ Which Is Far Better

Sunshine Fades And Shadows Fall
But Love And Memories Outlast All

spacer

Swift To Its Close, Head Our Life`s Little Day

spacer

Thanks For Sharing Your Life With Me
Half My Soul Awaits The Whole

spacer

The Day We Cease To Think Of You
Will Be When God Has Called Us Too

spacer

Then When On Earth I Breathe No More
The Prayer Oft Mixed With Tears Before
I`ll Sing Upon A Happier Shore

The Actions Of The Just Smell Sweet
And Blossom In Their Dust

The Day Doth Soon Dawn And We Shall Meet Again

And Be Cut Down Like Me

Is In The Sight Of God, Of Great Price

The Steps Of A Good Man Are
Ordered By The Lord And He
Delighteth In His Way

Sweeter Than Song
There Is A Remembrance Of The Dead
To Which We Turn Even
From The Charms Of The Living

spacer

There`s A Bright Land Far Away
Where It Is Never Ending Day

There Shall Be No More Death
Neither Sorrow, Nor Crying
Neither Shall There Be Any More Pain
Nor Night, Nor Death, Nor Parting Sound
Can Reach That Healthful Shore
But Peace And Joy And Endless Life
With Christ For Evermore

There Sleepeth One Without A Murmur
One We Loved But Could Not Save

spacer

The Strife Is O`er The Battle`s Done
The Victory Of Life Is Won
The Song Of Triumph Has Begun

But Memories Turns Back In Her Every Leaf

Called Home By Early Doom
Just Came To Show How Sweet Those Flowers
In Paradise Would Bloom

They Walk Beside Us Every Day

Though Death Divides
Still Memory Clings

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

Too Soon The Blossoms Fade And Fall
Too Soon Comes Winter`s Rain
Trees Know Another Spring
But Mine Will Never Come Again

spacer

Tread Softly, Because You Tread On My Dreams

spacer

Until The Day Dawns
And The Shadows Flee Away

spacer

Watch, For In Such An Hour
As Ye Think Not
The Son Of Man Cometh

spacer

What Talents, What Strength
What Opportunities
What Means She Had
She Laid Them Gratefully
And Gladly Upon The Altar
Of Her Lord And Master

spacer

Watch Therefore, For Ye Know Not
What Hour Your Lord Doth Come

We All Do Fade As A Leaf

spacer

We Cannot Lord Thy Purpose See
But All Is Well That`s Done By Thee

spacer

We Gaze Up To Heaven, We Know Just Where You Are
For All Of God`s Treasures
You Are The Brightest Shining Star

We Love Them, Yea No Tongue Can Tell
How Deep, How Dearly And How Well
Christ Loved Them Too And Thought It Best
To Take Them Home With Him To Rest

spacer

What I Do Thou Knowest Not Now
But Shall Know Hereafter

spacer

What Is Lovely Dieth Not
But Liveth Yet Again
In Greater Lovliness

spacer

When We Appear In Yonder Cloud
Amongst That Favoured Throng
Then Will We Sing More Sweet, More Loud
And Christ Shall Be Our Song

spacer

With Labour Sore My Days Have Been
And Many Changes Have I Seen
But Now I Rest Here In The Dust
In Hopes Of Pardon With The Just

spacer

With Restless Days And Sleepless Nights
My Weary Frame Was Sore Oppressed
Till God, The Silver Cord Did Break
And Gave Me The Heavy Laden Rest

spacer

With Stricken Hearts And Weeping Eyes
We Mourn The Loss Of Our Son`s Life
Far Away Under Sunny Skies
He Fell A Hero In The Strife
Though Round Him Reigned Both Shot And Shell
He Bravely Stored Against The Foe
With British Blood He Fought Right Well
Until He Reeled From Cruel Blow
Far From Home In A Soldier`s Grave
Near Dardanelles He Lies
Along With Gallant Comrades Brave
He Rests But Memory Never Dies
Could More Be Done Than Thou Hast Done
To Sacrifice Your Life So Free
By Thee A Victor`s Crown Is Won
Brave Lad Thy Country`s Proud Of Thee

spacer

With Quickend Sense And Hightend Joy, He Saves Thee Still

spacer

Words Can Only Hint At Love That Is Not Lost
That`s Saved And Wrapped In Memories
