Hymn 1: 1142
Title: oh weary heart, there is a home.
1. O weary heart, there is a Home,
Beyond the reach of toil and care
A Home where changes never
Come;
Who would not fain be resting
There?
CHORUS
Oh wait, meekly wait, and
mumur
not!
Oh wait, meekly wait, and
mumur
not!
Oh wait, meekly wait, and
mumur not!
2. Yet when bow’d down beneath
The
Load
By heav’n allow’d, thine earthy
lot;
Look up! Thou it reach that blest
abode:
Wait, meekly wait, and mumur
not!
3. If in thy path some thorns are
found.
Oh, think who bore them on His
brow;
If grief thy sorrowing heart has
found,
it reached a holier than thou.
4. Toil on! nor deem, though sore
It be,
One sigh unheard, one prayer
forgot;
The day rest will dawn for thee:
Wait, meekly wait, and murmur
not!
Hymn 2: 1054
Title: when peace like a river attended the way.
1. When peace like a river,
attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows
roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast
taught
me to say,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
CHORUS
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul
2. Though Satan should buffet,
tho’trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control.
That Christ has regarded my
Helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for
my soul.
3. My sin O, the bliss of this
Glorious
Thought,
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it
No more,
Praise the lord, praise the lord, O
my soul!
4. And, Lord, haste the day when
The
Faith shall be slight,
The clouds be rolled back as a
Scroll,
The trump shall resound and the
Lord shall descend,
Even so it is well with my soul.
Bible Verse 1 ( Rev 21: 1-8.)
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that over cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Hymn 3: 1467
Title: Sleep on beloved, sleep, and take thy rest.
1. Sleep on, beloved, sleep and
Take
Thy rest;
Lay down thy head upon thy
Saviour’s Breast;
We love thee well, but Jesus loves
Thee best;
Good night, good night, good
Night!
2. Calm is thy slumber as an
infant’s
sleep;
But thou shall wake no more to
Toil
And weep,
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and
Deep:
Good night, good night, good
Night!
3. Until the shadows from this
Earth
Are cast,
Until he gathers in his sheaves at
Last,
Until the twilight gloom is
Overpassed,
Good night, good night, good
Night!
4 Until the lord’s new glory
Flood the skies
Until the loved in Jesus shall
Arise,
And He shall come, but not in
Lowly
Guise,
Good night, good night, good
Night!
5 Until, made beautiful by love
Divine
Thou in the likeness of thy Lord
Shalt shine,
And He shall bring that golden
Crown of thine
Good night, good night, good
Night!
Job 14:1-14
1“Mortals, born of woman,
are of few days and full of trouble.
2. They spring up like flowers and wither away;
like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.
3. Do you fix your eye on them?
Will you bring them[a] before you for judgment?
4. Who can bring what is pure from the impure?
No one!
5. A person’s days are determined;
you have decreed the number of his months
and have set limits he cannot exceed.
6. So look away from him and let him alone,
till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.
7. “At least there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
8. Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump die in the soil,
9. yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.
10. But a man dies and is laid low;
he breathes his last and is no more.
11. As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,
12. so he lies down and does not rise;
till the heavens are no more, people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.
13. “If only you would hide me in the grave
and conceal me till your anger has passed!
If only you would set me a time
and then remember me!
14. If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service
I will wait for my renewal[b] to come.
Hymn4 : Oh What a Wonderful Day.
O what a wonderful day
O what a wonderful, wonderful
day, day I will never forget;
After I'd wandered in darkness
away, Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender, compassionate
friend, He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with
joy I am telling, He made
all the darkness depart.
Heaven came down and glory
filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior
made me whole;
My sins were washed away and
my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory
filled my soul!
Born of the Spirit with life from
above into God's family divine,
Justified fully thru Calvary's
love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was
made, when as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer, of grace
He did proffer, He saved
me, O praise His dear name!
Now I've a hope that will surely
endure after the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure
there in those mansions sublime.
And it's because of that wonderful
day, when at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal and blessings supernal,
from His precious hand I received.
Bible Verse 1 ( Eccl. 3:1-13.)
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Hymn 5: 495
Title: When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound.
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of his resurrection share;
When his chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
Hymn 6: 340
Title: Rock of Ages Cleft for me
1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I rise to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
Hymn 7: 1467
Title: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less.
1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood,
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found:
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]
Closing Hymns: Abide with me
1 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.
2. 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.
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3. I need thy presence every passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless,
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy 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.

Hymn 1: Forever with the lord
1 "Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
2 Here in the body pent
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A days march nearer home.
3 "Forever with the Lord!"
Father if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfill.
4 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
5 Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word?
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!"
First Bible Reading: Psalm 90
90 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
50 What I am saying, brothers and sisters,* is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die,* but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled:
‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’
55 ‘Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?’
56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved,* be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.
Hymn 2: 1467
Title: Sleep on beloved, sleep, and take thy rest.
1. Sleep on, beloved, sleep and
Take
Thy rest;
Lay down thy head upon thy
Saviour’s Breast;
We love thee well, but Jesus loves
Thee best;
Good night, good night, good
Night!
2. Calm is thy slumber as an
infant’s
sleep;
But thou shall wake no more to
Toil
And weep,
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and
Deep:
Good night, good night, good
Night!
3. Until the shadows from this
Earth
Are cast,
Until he gathers in his sheaves at
Last,
Until the twilight gloom is
Overpassed,
Good night, good night, good
Night!
4 Until the lord’s new glory
Flood the skies
Until the loved in Jesus shall
Arise,
And He shall come, but not in
Lowly
Guise,
Good night, good night, good
Night!
5 Until, made beautiful by love
Divine
Thou in the likeness of thy Lord
Shalt shine,
And He shall bring that golden
Crown of thine
Good night, good night, good
Night!
Hymn 3: 55
Title: To God be the Glory, great things He hath done
To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life our redemption to win,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.
Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.
RECESSIONAL HYMN 504
Title: God sent his son
God sent his son;
they called him Jesus;
he came to love, heal and forgive;
he lived and died to buy my pardon;
an empty grave is there
to prove my Saviour lives.
Because he lives I can face tomorrow;
because he lives all fear is gone;
because I know he holds the future,
and life is worth the living
just because he lives.
2. How sweet to hold a new-born baby,
and feel the pride and joy he gives;
but greater still the calm assurance,
this child can face uncertain days
because he lives.
3. And then one day I’ll cross the river;
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
and then as death gives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory
and I’ll know he lives.
