DEDICATED

to those who mourn a departed one,
with the hope that time will heal all sorrow
and bring consoling peace.



Until We Meet

How blessed is the tie that binds
Our hearts in lasting love,
The comradeship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
So when at last we have to part
In sorrow and in pain
We know we still are joined in heart,
Until we meet again.



The Eternal Goodness

I know not what the future hath
of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.

And if my heart and flesh are weak
to bear an untried pain,
The bruised reed He will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.

And so beside the Silent Sea
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.

I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth.



The Lord is thy keeper:the Lord
is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
He shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out
and thy coming in from this time
forth,and even for evermore.
Psalm 121
