Introduction Revd Ravi Holy

HymnWords: HenryFrancis Lyte 1834

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;to his feet thy tribute bring;ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,evermore his praises sing:Alleluia, alleluia!Praise the everlasting King.

Praise him for his grace and favourto our fathers in distress;praise him still the same for ever,slow to chide and swift to bless:Alleluia, alleluia!Glorious in his faithfulness.

Father-like, he tends and spares us;well our feeble frame he knows;in his hand he gently bears us,rescues us from all our foes.Alleluia, alleluia!Widely yet his mercy flows.

Angels, help us to adore him;ye behold him face to face;sun and moon, bow down before him,dwellers all in time and space.Alleluia, alleluia!Praise with us the God of grace.

Reading:Ecclesiastes 31-8

To everything there is a season,and a time to every purpose underheaven:A time to be born, and a time todie; a time to plant, and a time topluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal; atime to break down, and a time tobuild up;A time to weep, and a time tolaugh; a time to mourn, and a timeto dance;

Harry Godwin-AustinOn behalf of allTom’s friends

laugh; a time to mourn, and a timeto dance;A time to cast away stones, and atime to gather stones together; atime to embrace, and a time torefrain from embracing;A time to get, and a time to lose; atime to keep, and a time to castaway;A time to rend, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a timeto speak;A time to love, and a time to hate; atime of war; and a time of peace.

Eulogy Ian HunterOn behalf ofAndrew

HymnWords: CecilFrancesAlexander, 1848

Refrain:All things bright and beautiful,all creatures great and small,all things wise and wonderful,the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,each little bird that sings,he made their glowing colours,he made their tiny wings. Refrain

The purple-headed mountain,the river running by,the sunset, and the morningthat brightens up the sky. Refrain

The cold wind in the winter,the pleasant summer sun,the ripe fruits in the garden,he made them every one. Refrain

He gave us eyes to see them,and lips that we might tellhow great is God Almighty,who has made all things well. Refrain

Tom By his nurses andhis sister

SongWords & Music:Norah Jones,2002

Come away with me in the nightCome away with meAnd I will write you a song

Come away with me on a busCome away where they can't tempt usWith their lies

I want to walk with youOn a cloudy dayIn fields where the yellow grass growsknee-highSo won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kissOn a mountaintopCome away with meAnd I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rainFalling on a tin roofWhile I'm safe there in your armsSo all I ask is for youTo come away with me in the nightCome away with me

Jane AwdryOn behalf of Anne

PoemSonnets from thePortugueseBy ElizabethBarrett Browning(1806-1861)

How do I love thee? Let me count theways.I love thee to the depth and breadth andheightMy soul can reach, when feeling out ofsightFor the ends of Being and ideal Grace.I love thee to the level of everyday'sMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive forRight;I love thee purely, as they turn fromPraise.

Carmel McAuliffe

I love thee with a passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with mychildhood's faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith my lost saints, – I love thee withthe breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if Godchoose,I shall but love thee better after death.

Reflections David Edwards

The Lord’sPrayer

Our Father, which art in Heaven,Hallowed be thy Name.Thy Kingdom come.Thy will be done,in earth as it is in Heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,As we forgive them that trespassagainst us.And lead us not into temptation;But deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom, The power,and the glory,For ever and ever. Amen.

Sung PoemAg Críost an síolBy Seán Ó Riada

Ag Críost an síol, ag Críost an FómharIn iothlann Dé go dtugtar sinnAg Críost an t-iasc, ag Críost an mhuirI líontaibh Dé go gcastar sinnÓ fhás go haois is ó aois go básDo dhá lámh a Chríost anall tharainn Ó fhás go críoch, ní críoch ach athfhásI bParthas na nGrás go rabhamaid

Carmel McAuliffe

English translationby ThomasKinsella

To Christ the seed, to Christ the crop,in barn of Christ may we be brought.To Christ the sea, to Christ the fish,in nets of Christ may we be caught.From growth to age, from age to death,Thy two arms here, O Christ, about us.From death to end, not end but growth,in blessed Paradise may we be.

HymnWords: FrancisRowe, 1650

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want.he makes me down to liein pastures green; he leadeth methe quiet waters by.

My soul he doth restore again;and me to walk doth makewithin 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 furnishedin presence of my foes;my head thou dost with oil anoint,and my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my lifeshall surely follow me;and in God's house forevermoremy dwelling place shall be.

Prayer ofcommendation

Revd Ravi Holy

Irish blessing May the road rise to meet you.May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face.May the rain fall soft upon your fields,And, until we meet again,May God hold you in the hollow of Hishand.
