Rest in Peace (Irish Version for Woman) – Verse 078

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Rest in Peace (Irish Version for Man) – Verse 077

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

They say there is a reason – Verse 076

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way we feel.
 
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies beyond our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
 
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to do without.
 
You gave us years of happiness,
Then sorrow came with tears,
You left us lovely memories,
We will treasure through the years.

Our Father – Verse 075

Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary – Verse 074

Hail Mary full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of our death.

Amen.

God grant me the serenity – Verse 073

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference.

I’m Free – Verse 072

Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free;
I’m following the path God laid for me,
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
 
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
 
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes these things we too shall miss.
 
Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savoured much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
 
Perhaps my life seemed all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Look for me in rainbows – Verse 071

Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
 
Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I’ll be close to you.
 
It won’t be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
 
Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
 
Just wish me to be near you,
And I’ll be there with you.

Solace – Verse 070

They are not gone these loved ones
Whom we mourn;
We must not think of them
As far away,
Unto a fuller life they have been born,
Laying aside the vesture of this clay.
Yet near us still they watch and
Love and know;
We are the blind ones,
Who no longer see,
Beloved forms that softly
Come and go,
Waiting reunion in eternity.

Road to Eternity – Verse 069

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet Eternity.
 
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay...
 
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey’s quicker,
For some, the journey’s slow.
 
But when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
 
You were always there when we needed you,
No task too great or small,
With loving heart and willing hands,
For us you did it all.

Pray for me – Verse 068

Pray for me, as I will for Thee,
That we may all merrily meet in Heaven.

St. Thomas More

Remember Me – Verse 067

Don’t remember me with sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears;
Remember all the laughter
We’ve had throughout the years.
 
Then when the summer sunshine
Awakes the flowers in bloom,
I’ll walk that light from Heaven,
Around the corners of every room.
 
Do the things we did before,
The same in every way;
Just whisper a little prayer to me,
At the dawn of every day.
 
Just think of me as present,
Don’t think of me as past;
For my love is a blessing
In death it still can last.
 
Forget your troubles and your worries,
They are mine for ever more;
I’ll watch and care and love you,
From Heaven’s open door.
 
And when your road gets rough and rocky,
Or you’re down and need a crutch;
Remember I’m right beside you,
Just an inch too short to touch.
