OFFICIATING MINISTERS: General Overseer O. Folkes Pastor A. Morgan Deacon D. Rowe Min. B. Ricketts Sermon Bro. Leon Ricketts Internment at Meadowrest Memorial Gardens
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control, that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, even so, it is well with my soul.

Closing 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, Even for His own Name’s sake. Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill; For Thou art with me; and Thy rod And staff my comfort still. My table Thou hast 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 forevermore My dwelling place shall be.
At The Graveside Officiating Minister Hymn
Minister D. Rowe 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. Refrain: 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
Choruses “Some Sweet day” Someday I’ll go where Jesus is Won’t it be a time When we all get to heaven Meet me by the river We shall be changed
Poem
Don’t spend too much time in mourning. Tears are for the sad. I left to be with Jesus, and this should make you glad. Don’t waste your hours in grieving. No need to feel distress. I’m tired of life’s trials, and had to get some rest. Don’t let your minds be troubled with questions, or try to reason why. Life here for me has ended. Don’t lose the love I gave you; feed it with your care. Grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere. Don’t fret because my leaving came in such a way. We’ll have another meeting, in God’s Eternal Day!
