Sorry to hear that xx

[TWR]

Yahweh, I know you are near,
standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
and you lead me in ways everlasting.

Lord, you have searched my heart,
and you know when I sit and when I stand.
Your hand is upon me protecting me from death,
keeping me from harm.

Where can I run from Your love?
If I climb to the heavens You are there;
If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea,
still I'd find You there.

You know my heart and its ways,
you who formed me before I was born
in the secret of darkness before I saw the sun
in my mother's womb.

Marvelous to me are Your works;
how profound are Your thoughts, my Lord.
Even if I could count them, they number as the stars,
You would still be there.

Take care.x

Sorry for your loss slinky x

This hymn is a favourite of mine but hate it when they sing it in church, it always makes me well up, it's called Here I Am Lord.

So sad for you Kate. I love Old rugged Cross; a well known hymn everone can sing so your beloved brother will hear their voices

[McMouse]

Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure if you speak to the church or undertaker they will give good advice and suggestions.

[rockyracoon]

Going Home is another that's very appropriate for a funeral (though I'm not certain it's a hymn), it's sung to the music of the old Hovis advert, very moving.

[slinky.kate]

i was wondering if it has to be a hymn if it is in the church ?

[cupid04]

Abide with me

The old rugged cross

[tamborine]

Usually 2 sung hymns and 3 chosen recordings

[rockyracoon]

You'll need to speak to the priest slinky, some are easier going than others.

[murraymints]

The priest can recommend hymns....sorry to hear of your sad news...
