AMAZING GRACE
Ama::jng Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wrett:h like me.
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grat:e that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, myfears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed.
Through ma!!J dangers, toils and snares I have alreacfy come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thusJar and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promisedgood to me. His word my hope set1tres.
He will nry shield and portion be, As long as life endures.
Yea, when thisflesh and heart shallfail, And mortal life shall tease, I shallpossess within the veil, A life ofjqy and peace.
Yes, when thisflesh and heart shallfail, And mortal life shall tease; I shallprofess, within the vail, A life ofjqy and peace.

IN LOVING MEMORY
OF
HERMAN E. HILL
!Ve live a short while on earth, below, Reluctant to die, for we do not knmv Just what dark death is all abo11t, And so we view it with fear and doubt.
ot certain of what is around the bend,
!Ve look on death as the final end To all that made us mortal beings, Andyet there lies bryond our seeing A beautiful life so full and complete That we should live with God~ sat:red streams Amid beauty andpeat:e bryond our dreams.
For all who believe in the risen Lord
Have been assured of this reward;
And death for them isjustgraduation
To a higher realm of wide elevation.
For life on earth is a transient affair, Just afew briifyears in which to prepare
For a life that isfree ofpain and tears,
Where time is not counted ~ hours oryears.
For death is on!J the method God those
To colonize heaven with the souls of those
!Vho I?J their apprenticeship on earth
Proved wort~?; to dwell in the land ofnew birth.
So death is not sad, it's a time for elation, A ;O)ous transition, the soul's emigration Into aplace where the soul's safe andfree
To live zvith God through eterni"(y.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Because we are never quite prepared to face life's darkest hour alone, we wish to thank each of you for your thoughtfulness and
all acts of kindness shown to us at this time. 1-1ay God bless each of you. The Family
