A Service to Celebrate the Life of John Robert Townroe 15th August 1948 - 25th October 2017 St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Warsop Tuesday 7th November 2017 at 11.00 am SCRIPTURE SENTENCES WELCOME OPENING PRAYERS HYMN And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England’s mountains green? And was the Holy Lamb of God On England’s pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England’s green and pleasant land. William Blake (1757-1827) BIBLE READING EULOGY HYMN We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land, but it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand: he sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, the breezes and the sunshine, and soft, refreshing rain. All good gifts around us are sent from heav’n above; then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord, for all his love. He only is the maker of all things near and far; he paints the wayside flower, he lights the evening star; he fills the earth with beauty, by him the birds are fed; much more to us, his children, he gives our daily bread. All good gifts around us are sent from heav’n above; then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord, for all his love.
