                                        Hymn

                            O Love that wilt not let me go,
                             I rest my weary soul in thee;
                             I give thee back the life I owe,
                          That in thine ocean depths its flow
                                 May richer, fuller be.

                            O light that foll’west all my way,
                           I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
                          My heart restores its borrowed ray,
                          That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
                                May brighter, fairer be.

                         O Joy that seekest me through pain,
                            I cannot close my heart to thee;
                          I trace the rainbow through the rain,
                           And feel the promise is not vain,
                             That morn shall tearless be.

                            Poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye

                          Do not stand at my grave and weep
                             I am not there. I do not sleep.
                           I am a thousand winds that blow.
                           I am the diamond glints on snow.
                          I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
                             I am the gentle autumn rain.
                       When you awaken in the morning's hush
                              I am the swift uplifting rush
                             Of quiet birds in circled flight.
                         I am the soft stars that shine at night.
                           Do not stand at my grave and cry;
                              I am not there. I did not die.

                                      Committal
