Our loved ones p ass through, On their way to the land 
Wh ere we 're all born anew. And while we can 't see, 
What 's on death 's other side We know that our Father Will richly p rovide. All that He promised, To those who believe, 
And His kingdom is waiting, For us to receive.

((earth to earth and dust to dust ", Calmly now the words we say, Left behind, we wait in trust For the resurrection day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping 
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. -John Lodge Ellerton
