Peter Totman Welcome Hymn

MORNING HAS BROKEN Morning has broken Like the first morning;

Blackbird has spoken Like the first bird. Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning,

Praise for them, springing Fresh from the word.

Sweet the rain's new fall Sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall On the first grass.

Praise for the sweetness Of the wet garden, Sprung from completeness Where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight; Mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play.

Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God's recreation Of the new day.

Hymn AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear,

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun; We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we’ve first begun.

Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 6:19 Homily Prayers for Dorothy’s family and friends The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours

now and for ever. Amen.

Hymn THE LORD OF THE DANCE

I danced in the morning when the world was begun. And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun;

And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth, At Bethlehem I had my birth:

Dance then, wherever you may be; I am the Lord of the Dance, said he;

And I’ll lead you all wherever you may be, And I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.

I danced for the scribe and pharisee, But they would not dance and they wouldn’t follow me.

I danced for the fisherman, for James and John- They came with me and the dance went on:

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame; The holy people said it was a shame.

They whipped and they stripped and they hung me on high; And they left me there on a Cross to die:

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black; It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back.

They buried my body and they thought I’d gone; But I am the dance and I still go on:

They cut me down and I leapt up high, I am the life that’ll never, never die;

I’ll live in you if you live in me; I am the Lord of the Dance, said he:

Commendation and committal

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me now a little, but not too long And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love and the good times we shared Miss me but let me go
