ORDER OF BURIAL SERVICE FOR
LATE MR BENNETT U. OKOLI (KOMA)
AGED: 70 YEARS

Far, far above thy thought, 6. I gahu n' izu-Ya
His counsel shall appear, Kariri uche-gi
When fully He the work hath wrought, Mgb' O luzuru olu ahu
That caused thy needless fear. Nk' I turu egwu ya.

Thou seest our weakness, Lord; 7. Gi mara obi-ayi,
Our hearts are known to Thee; Hur' adigh-ike-ayi.
O li Thou up the sinking hand, Newelite aka-nkuda,
Confirm the feeble knee! Gba ikpere ume!

Let us in life, in death, 8. Kwe k' ayi, nan du n' onwu,
Thy steadfast truth declare, Kwusa ezi' okwu-Gi,
And publish with our latest breath Nagbasa ihu-n' anya-Gi
Thy love and guardian care. Na nchebe-Gi nile. Amen.

1. There's land that is fairer than day 1. Ala di mara nma kari ihe
And by faith we can see it afar Site n'okwukwe ka'ayi ji hu ya
For the Father waits over the way Nn'ayi Chineke nechere na ya
To prepare us a dwelling place K'Odoziri ayi eb'obibi.

Chorus: Koros:
In the sweet... by and by M'emesia. m 'emesia
We shall Meet on that beau ful shore Ayi gezuko n 'ala om 'ahu
In the sweet... by and by M'emesia. M'emesia
We shall Meet on that beau ful shore Ayi gezuko n 'ala om 'ahu!

2. We shall sing on that beau ful shore 2. Ayi ganabu n'ala om'ahu
The melodious song of the blest Ab'uto ahu nke ndi ngozi
And our spirit shall sorrow no more Mo-ayi gapu n ihe-nwuta dum
Not sign for the blessing of rest. Ghara is'ude n'ih'iz' ike.

3. To our boun ful Father above 3. Obu ezi Nn'ayi nke bu n'elu
We will offer the tribute of praise K'ayi geny'otuto kwesiri ya
For the glorious gi of His love N'ihi onyiny'ihun'anya ya.
And the blessings that hallow our days. Na ngozi nke nedo ndu-ayi nso.
Amen Amen
