Hymn
The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
As o'er each continent and island The sun that bids us rest is waking
The dawn leads on another day, Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
The voice of prayer is never silent, And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Nor dies the strain of praise away. Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away:
Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

Eulogy ~ Jonathan
Reading from the Bible: Psalm 121 said together
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the L , which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The L is thy keeper: the L is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The L shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The L shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time
forth, and even for evermore.
