When I must leave you for a little while-
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things
the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near,
And never, never be afraid
to die,
For I am waiting for you in
the sky!
RV 68
The Lord is my shepherd,
I’ll not want,
He makes me down to lie,
In pastures green
he leadeth me,
The quiet waters by,
My soul he doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make,
Within the path of righteousness,
E’en for his own name’s sake.
Yea though I walk in
death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill,
For thou art with me and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God’s house for evermore,
My dwelling place shall be.
23rd Psalm
RV 69
May tender memories
Soften our grief,
May fond recollection
Bring us relief,
And may we find comfort
and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing
Our loved one brought,
For time and space
Can never divide,
Or keep our loved one
From our side
When memory paints
In colours true,
The happy hours
We spent with you.
RV 70
We did not see you close
your eyes.
We did not see you die.
All we knew was that you
were gone,
Without a last goodbye.
It was a sudden parting,
Too bitter to forget.
Only those who loved you,
Are the ones who will
never forget.
The happy hours we
once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still,
But death has left a vacant place,
This world can never fill.
Your life was one of kindly deeds,
A helping hand for others' needs.
Sincere and true in heart
and mind,
Beautiful memories left behind.
