Final Commendation and Farewell

This is the song we sang at the end of Mrs. Funigiello's funeral. It's called "Song of Farewell" and it's tune is Old 100th (not sure what that means).

It is sang to to the tune of the Doxology.

Come to hear aid O Saints of God;
Come meet her, angels of the Lord.
Receive her soul, O holy ones;
Present her now to God, most high.

May Christ who called you take, you home,
And angels lead you to Abraham.
Receive her soul, O holy ones;
Present her now to God, most high.

Give her eternal rest, O Lord.
May light unending shine on her.
Receive her soul, O holy ones;
Present her nowt to God, most high.

I know that my Redeemer live;
The last day I shall rise again.
Receive her soul, O holy ones;
Present her now to God, most high.

I just felt completion when I sang that song. Her life was complete. She had come full circle. And we, as friends and family, were able to "give her back" to where she first came from.

I hope to keep this program around, so that I may use this at my funeral one day.
