Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning at the bar when I p u t ou t to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full o f sound and foam, when that which drew from out the boundless deep, Turns Again Home.

LIFE IS ETERNAL " Life is Eternal," the good Lord said, So do not think of your loved one as dead For death is only a stepping stone To a beautiful life we have never known A place where God promised man he would Be eternally happy and safe and free, A wonderful land where we live a new When our journey on earth is over and through.
So trust in God and doubt him never For all who love him live forever, And while we cannot understand Just let the Saviour take your hand, For when Death's Angel comes to call "God is so Great and we're so small" And there is nothing you need fear For faith in God makes all things clear.
