Order Of ServiceProcessional ChoirOpening Statement General Overseer O. FolkesOpening Hymn “When Peace like a River”
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.
Refrain:It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control,
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, 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!
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, 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.

Closing Hymn The Lord’s my Shepherd
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth meThe quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again;And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,Even for His own Name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rodAnd staff my comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnishèdIn presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,And my cup overfl ows.
Goodness and mercy all my lifeShall surely follow me;
And in God’s house forevermoreMy dwelling place shall be.
At The GravesideOffi ciating Minister Minister D. Rowe Hymn In The Sweet by And by
There’s a land that is fairer than day,And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the wayTo prepare us a dwelling place there.
Refrain:In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shoreThe melodious songs of the blessed;And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
To our bountiful Father above,We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His loveAnd the blessings that hallow our days
PoemDon’t spend too much
time in mourning. Tears are for the sad. I left
to be with Jesus, andthis should make you glad.
Don’t waste your hours in grieving.
No need to feel distress. I’m tired of life’s trials,
and had to get some rest. Don’t let your minds be troubled with
questions, or try to reason why. Life here for me has ended.
Don’t lose the love I gave you;feed it with your care.
Grow it with devotion andspread it everywhere.
Don’t fret because my leavingcame in such a way.
We’ll have another meeting,in God’s Eternal Day!
Choruses“Some Sweet day”

When we all get to heavenMeet me by the riverWe shall be changed
