THE SCRIPTURE..............Nancy Stevens Psalm 145:1-5, 17-21 THE ANTHEM...Chancel Choir Amelia Rosenberger and David Hughes, four-hand piano Death Shall Not Destroy My Comfort Mack Wilberg
Death shall not destroy my comfort, Christ shall guide me through the gloom; down he'll send some heavenly convoy to escort my spirit home. Oh, hallelujah, how I love my Savior, oh hallelujah, that I do. Oh hallelujah, how I love my savior! Mourners, you may love him too. Jordan's stream shall not o'erflow me while my Savior's by my side. Canaan, Canaan lies before me; soon I'll cross the swelling tide. Oh hallelujah ... Mourners, you may love him too. See the happy spirits waiting on the banks beyond the stream. Sweet responses still repeating: "Jesus! Jesus!" is their theme. Oh hallelujah ... Mourners, you may love him too. Anonymous
