GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father There is no shadow of turning with Thee Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
Refrain
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 Summer and winter and 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
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
Refrain Great is Thy faithfulness Great is Thy faithfulness Great is Thy faithfulness Lord, unto me
Refrain HOW GREAT THOU ART O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all, the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.
Chorus
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
Chorus

O
scar Alexander Bell, aka Boiseman, born on December 15th, 1936 was the eighth of nine children for the late Theodora Bell and George Hilton Bell in Endeavor, St. Ann, Jamaica The family was dedicated to the Anglican faith and in his early years, Oscar became an active member and even served as an altar-boy. He attended the Gibraltar Primary School and was a brilliant scholar who was loved and admired by both his teachers and peers. In his early years, Oscar found gainful employment at the Kaiser Bauxite plant in St. Ann but later migrated to England in the early 1960s. This move worked in his favor as in 1966, Oscar married his beautiful bride, Valda Bernita Miller whom he affectionately called ‘Peggy’. The marriage yielded 3 boys. Oscar was a family man. He enjoyed and loved being with family and would often speak fondly about his 2 sisters- Ivy Maud and Ettie and his brothers Tom, Lloyd, James, Dudley, Bertie, Eric who all preceded him in death. Oscar was a bus driver and later became an engineer; he loved dressing up and was renowned for his sophisticated sense of style and fashion. In 2008, Oscar joined Valda in the USA and they resided in Miami Gardens, Florida. Oscar departed this life on Wednesday, December 22, 2021 and is survived by his wife Valda, his sons, Eli (Spirey-Jamaica) Anthony, David & Ian (UK), nine grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, grand and great grand nieces and nephews and a host of friends. May his soul rest in peace and light perpetually shine.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN by Zohaad Irfan Those special memories of you will always bring a smile if only I could have you back just for a while Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do You always meant so very much and always will do too The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again
