Six Funerals

Within two weeks' time,
Six funerals in our church;
Loved ones gone from us.

While tears flow freely
As their presence we will miss,
We're not without hope.

They believed in God;
They all loved the Lord Jesus:
Their faith was secure.

They now see Jesus,
Communing with all the saints,
Praising God with joy.

One day we'll see them
In the heavenly mansions
When God calls us home.

Then, we'll see Jesus
And caress His nail-pierced hands
As we kneel in awe.

Praise our Redeemer
Who won for us salvation!
Heaven is our home.
