Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

In the Sweet by and By There's a land that is fairer than day And by faith we can see it afar For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore

In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore

We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed And our spirits shall sorrow no more Not a sigh for the blessing of rest

To our bountiful Father above We will offer our tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days

John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

When We All Get to Heaven Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He’ll prepare for us a place.

Chorus When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be!

When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory!

While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav’ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us!

Soon His beauty we’ll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Departure

Graveside Songs When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

Refrain When the roll, is called up yonder,

(Repeat 3x) When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,

When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair,

On that bright and cloudless morning

When the saved of earth shall gather

when the dead in Christ shall rise,

over on the other shore,

And the glory of His resurrection share;

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be

When His chosen ones shall gather

there.

to their home beyond the skies, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

Let us labour for the Master

When we see Jesus, coming in glory,

from the dawn till setting sun,

When He comes from His

Let us talk of all His wondrous

home in the sky;

love and care;

Then we shall meet Him

Then when all of life is over,

in that bright mansion,

and our work on earth is done,

We'll understand it all by and by.

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

I’m Going To Sing, Sing, Sing I’m gonna sing, sing, sing,

Farther Along

I’m gonna shout, shout, shout,

Tempted and tried,

I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout,

we're oft made to wonder,

Praise the Lord!

Why it should be thus all the day long;

For when those gates are opened wide,

While there are others living about us,

I’m gonna sit by Jesus’ side,

Never molested

I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout,

though in the wrong.

Praise the Lord!

Refrain Farther along we'll know all about it,

We’ll Soon Be Done

Farther along we'll understand why;

We’ll soon be done,

Cheer up my brother

with troubles and trials;

live in the sunshine,

When I get home, on the other side;

We'll understand it all by and by,

I'm gonna shake my hands with the elders,

When death has come

and taken our loved ones, It leaves our home so lonely and drear; Then do we wonder why others prosper,

I'm gonna tell all the people good morning, I'm gonna. sit down beside my Jesus, I'm gonna sit down and rest a little while.

Living so wicked year after year.

Faithful til death, said our loving Master, A few more days to labour and wait; Toils of the road will then seem as nothing, As we sweep through the beautiful gate.

Mine, Mine, Mine Mine, mine, mine, Jesus is mine; Mine when I’m weary, Mine when I’m drear;

Mine, mine, mine, mine, Jesus is mine, Jesus alone is mine.

I’ve Got A Mansion

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

I’ve got a mansion just over the hill top

Perfect submission, all is at rest,

In that fair land,

I in my Saviour am happy and blest,

where we’ll never grow old;

Watching and waiting, looking above,

And some day yonder,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

we’ll never more wander But walk those streets, of purest gold.

When We All Get to Heaven Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace;

Over my head

In the mansions bright and blessed

Over my head I hear music in the air.

He’ll prepare for us a place.

Over my head I hear music in the air.

Over my head I hear music in the air; So there must be a God somewhere!

Refrain When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be!

Oh Lord I thank you, thank you, thank you,

When we all see Jesus,

Lord I thank you for the rest of my life

We’ll sing and shout the victory!

(repeat) While we walk the pilgrim pathway,

Blessed Assurance Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav’ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day;

Just one glimpse of Him in glory Refrain: This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels, descending, bring from above

Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us!

Soon His beauty we’ll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold.

Victory in Jesus

Power in the Blood

I heard an old, old story,

Would you be free from the burden of sin?

How a Saviour came from glory,

There's power in the blood,

How He gave His life on Calvary

power in the blood;

To save a wretch like me;

Would you o'er evil a victory win?

I heard about His groaning,

There's wonderful power in the blood.

Of His precious blood's atoning, Then I repented of my sins And won the victory.

Refrain There is power, power, Wonder working power

Refrain

In the blood of the Lamb.

O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever.

There is power, power,

He sought me and he bought me

wonder-working power

With His redeeming blood;

In the precious blood of the Lamb.

He loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is due Him,

Would you be free

He plunged me into victory,

from your passion and pride?

Beneath the cleansing flood.

There's power in the blood,

I heard about His healing,

power in the blood;

Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.

Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide;

How He made the lame to walk again

There's wonderful power in the blood.

And caused the blind to see; And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, Come and heal my broken spirit," And somehow Jesus came and bro't

To me the victory.

Would you do service for Jesus your King?

There's power in the blood, power in the blood; Would you live daily His praises to sing?

There's wonderful power in the blood

I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory.

And I heard about the streets of gold Beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing, And the old redemption story,

And some sweet day I'll sing up there The song of victory.

Give Me the Bible Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming; To cheer the wanderer lone and tempest tossed No storm can hide that radiance peaceful beaming

Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost

Meet Me By The River

Refrain

Meet me by the river some day

Give me the Bible,

Meet me by the river not far away

holy message shining

When my Lord shall call me home

Thy light shall guide

Happy, happy home beyond the skies

me in the narrow way

Meet me by the river some day

Precept and promise, law and love combining

No Grave

Till night shall vanish in eternal day.

No grave can hold my body down No grave can hold my body down

Give me the Bible,

When trumpet of the Lord shall sound

when my heart is broken

And the dead in Christ shall rise

When sin and grief have

No grave, no grave

filled my soul with fear Give me the precious words

Someday

by Jesus spoken

Someday, someday, I’ll go where Jesus is

Hold up faith’s lamp to show

Someday, someday, I’ll go where Jesus is

my Saviour near

I’ll be caught up to meet Him Caught up to greet Him

Give me the Bible,

Joy and happiness, peace is mine

all my steps enlighten

Tell the story, saints in glory

Teach me the danger

caught up to meet Him in the air

of these realms below That lamp of safety o’er the gloom shall brighten That light alone the path of peace can show.

Some Sweet Day Some sweet day I'm going away, Going to leave this world, No more to roam

Some sweet day when life is over, Some sweet day I'm going away

We would all like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have supported us during this time of loss.

The Channer Family

Precious One Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know.
