My mum passed into glory 8 days ago. Here are some words she was reading recently and wanted to be read at her funeral.
You are taking down my earthly tent with much tenderness and love. You have prepared a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. May you never leave me nor forsake me, ’till I be with you, where you are, and be like Christ and enjoy him for ever and ever! Yet a very, very little while - hold on, faith and patience - and I shall see Jesus in his glory, which is the heaven of heavens. - William Romaine
She was also able to choose some songs; ‘See what a morning’ and ‘The Lord’s my Shepherd’…
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won,
Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!
