"Like a
ship that's left its mooring
And sails
bravely out to sea,
So Someone
Dear has sailed away
In calm
serenity:
But there's
a promise of greater joy
Than Earth
could have in store,
For God has
planned a richer life
Beyond the

Dedicated To Those Who Mourn

And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes
and death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying,
Nor sorrow
shall be any more, for the former things are passed away.

Twenty-Third Psalm
The Lord is
my shepherd: I shall not want,
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the
Paths of
righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for
Thou are
with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they
comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of
mine enemies: Thou anointest
my
head with
oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days
of my life: and I will dwell in
the house of
the Lord for ever.
