INTRODUCTION AND OPENING PRAYER Reverend Chris Lee

HYMN All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings.

Refrain The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset, and the morning That brightens up the sky.

Refrain The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one.

Refrain The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water We gather every day.

Refrain He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God almighty, Who has made all things well: Refrain

ADDRESS Reverend Chris Lee

HYMN The Lord’s My Shepherd The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; he leadeth me The quiet waters by.

My soul he doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E’en for his own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through death’s dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill; For thou art with me, and thy rod And staff me comfort still.

My table thou has furnishèd In presence of my foes; My head thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God’s house for evermore My dwelling-place shall be.

PRAYERS FOR HOLLY Reverend Chris Lee

THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy Kingdom come;thy will be done;on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

HYMN Morning Has Broken Morning has broken like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.

Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!

Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word.

Sweet the rain’s new fall sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall on the first grass.

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play!

Praise with elation, praise every morning, God’s re-creation of the new day.

Morning has broken like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.

Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!

Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word.

FINAL BLESSING RECESSIONAL MUSIC Candle In The Wind

Life Goes On If I should go before the rest of you Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone Nor when I am gone speak in a Sunday voice But be the usual selves that I have known Weep if you must, Parting is hell, But life goes on, So sing as well.
