COMMENDATION AND FAREWELL ENTRANCE MUSIC Oxygène Part IV by Jean-Michel Jarre BLESSING

WELCOME AND OPENING PRAYER EXIT MUSIC There You’ll Be by Faith Hill POEM Feel No Guilt In Laughter read by Andy HYMN HYMN Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep The darkness falls at Thy behest; Its own appointed limits keep: To Thee our morning hymns ascended, O hear us when we cry to Thee Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. For those in peril on the sea. We thank Thee that Thy Church, unsleeping, O Christ, whose voice the waters heard While earth rolls onward into light, And hushed their raging at Thy word, Through all the world her watch is keeping, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And rests not now by day or night. And calm amid the storm didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to Thee As o’er each continent and island For those in peril on the sea. The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, O Holy Spirit, who didst brood Nor dies the strain of praise away. Upon the waters dark and rude, And bid their angry tumult cease, The sun that bids us rest is waking And give, for wild confusion, peace: Our brethren ’neath the western sky, O hear us when we cry to Thee And hour by hour fresh lips are making For those in peril on the sea. Thy wondrous doings heard on high. O Trinity of love and power, So be it, Lord: Thy throne shall never, Our brethren shield in danger’s hour; Like earth’s proud empires, pass away; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever, Protect them wheresoe’er they go: Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. Thus evermore shall rise to Thee John Ellerton (1826-1893) Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. William Whiting (1825-1878) BIBLE READING THE LORD’S PRAYER Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3: verses 1-8 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; MEMORIES OF CHRIS Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. VIDEO TRIBUTE And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, MUSIC FOR REFLECTION but deliver us from evil. In The Arms Of An Angel by Sarah McLachlan For Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING Amen.
