List Of Funerals Hymns :
1. It Is Well With My Soul (When Peace Like A River)
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul!”
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath 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 His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
2. Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
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!
The Lord hath promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
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 first begun.
3. In The Sweet By And By
Verse:
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.
Verse:
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.
Verse:
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.
4. Earer My God To Thee
1 Nearer, My God, To Thee, Nearer To Thee!
E’en Though It Be A Cross That Raiseth Me,
Still All My Song Shall Be,
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer, My God, To Thee, Nearer To Thee!
2 Though Like The Wanderer, The Sun Gone Down,
Darkness Be Over Me, My Rest A Stone;
Yet In My Dreams I’d Be
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer, My God, To Thee, Nearer To Thee!
3 There Let The Way Appear, Steps Unto Heaven;
All That Thou Sendest Me, In Mercy Given;
Angels To Beckon Me
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer, My God, To Thee, Nearer To Thee!
4 Then, With My Waking Thoughts Bright With Thy Praise,
Out Of My Stony Griefs Bethel I’ll Raise;
So By My Woes To Be
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer, My God, To Thee, Nearer To Thee!
5 Or If, On Joyful Wing Cleaving The Sky,
Sun, Moon, And Stars Forgot, Upward I Fly,
Still All My Song Shall Be,
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer, My God, To Thee, Nearer To Thee!
5. In The Garden
1 I Come To The Garden Alone,
While The Dew Is Still On The Roses;
And The Voice I Hear, Falling On My Ear,
The Son Of God Discloses.

And He Walks With Me, And He Talks With Me,
And He Tells Me I Am His Own,
And The Joy We Share As We Tarry There,
None Other Has Ever Known.
2 He Speaks, And The Sound Of His Voice
Is So Sweet The Birds Hush Their Singing;
And The Melody That He Gave To Me
Within My Heart Is Ringing. [refrain]
3 I’d Stay In The Garden With Him
Tho’ The Night Around Me Be Falling;
But He Bids Me Go; Thro’ The Voice Of Woe,
His Voice To Me Is Calling. [refrain]
