Hymns.
Going home, going home, Mother’s there expecting me.
I’m going home.
Father’s waiting too.
Quiet-like, some still day, Lots of folk gathered there.
I’m just going home. All the friends I knew.
It’s not far just close by All the friends I knew.
through an open door.
Work all done, care
laid by,
going to
fear no more.
In Bread we bring
you, Lord.
In bread we bring you
Lord, our bodies labour.
In wine, we offer you
our spirits grief. We do
not ask you, Lord who
is my neighbour? But stand
united now, in one
belief. Oh we have gladly heard
your word, your holy
word, and now in answer Lord
our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true,
our failing faith
renew, our lives belong to you, our Lord and King.
There is a Place.
There's a time for remembering, a time to recall.
The trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls.
There's a time to be grateful for moments so blest,
The jewels of our memory where love is our guest.
