Songs THE GOODNESS OF GOD I love You, Lord For Your mercy never fails me All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands From the moment that I wake up Until I lay my head Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God Chorus And all my life You have been faithful And all my life You have been so, so good With every breath that I am able Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God I love Your voice You have led me through the fire In the darkest night You are close like no other I’ve known You as a Father I’ve known You as a Friend And I have lived in the goodness of God Chorus
‘Cause Your goodness is running after It’s running after me Your goodness is running after It’s running after me With my life laid down I’m surrendered now I give You everything ‘Cause Your goodness is running after It’s running after me (Repeat) And all my life You have been faithful And all my life You have been so, so good With every breath that I am able Oh, I’m gonna sing of the goodness of God Oh, I’m gonna sing of the goodness of God (Repeat)
LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Chorus
Chorus Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms.
What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms; I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Chorus
Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms;

Songs GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father There is no shadow of turning with Thee Thou changes not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
Summer and winter, springtime and harvest Sun, moon and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love Chorus
Chorus Great is Thy faithfulness Great is Thy faithfulness Morning by morning new mercies I see All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! Chorus
THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD (HAPPY WANDERER) 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.
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 me comfort still. Chorus
Chorus He lives, He lives I know that my Redeemer lives He Lives He lives, He lives within my heart
My table thou hast furnished In presence of my foes; My head thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. Chorus
My soul he doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, Even for his own name sake. Chorus
Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me, And in God’s house for evermore My dwelling place shall be. Chorus

Hugh has left us all with a void. Yet, we will not forget his infectious smile, his humility, and the meticulous way he would analyze a situation before giving an opinion. Hugh loved and prided himself on constantly gravitating to higher levels of study. In his early years, he attended Vaz Preparatory School, then headed to Calabar High School. After leaving high school, he obtained a Diploma in Teacher Education from Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College. He obtained a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of the West Indies, (UWI), Mona Campus. He subsequently attained his Master’s degree from Barry University, Miami, Florida. Despite the time invested in the pursuit of knowledge, he found time to laugh, to love, and to care for others. Hugh’s hobbies were fishing and table tennis. He developed his swimming skills as an active member of the YMCA in Kingston, Jamaica. In death, Hugh has found a way to bring family and friends together. We rejoice in the life he lived which showed us all how to be happy. We are inspired by his love for family and his willingness to help. Hugh’s memory will continue to bring hope, joy, and peace to all he encountered in life’s journey. Eternal Rest Hugo.
