May the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.  Amen.

Thanksgiving : I survived my Mother : Prayer

THANKSGIVING – I SURVIVED MY MOTHER

11.       NOTICES

12.       PRAYER FOR THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE CHURCH WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER

Almighty and everlasting God, we offer You most hearty thanks for the grace and virtue made manifest in all Your saints, who have been chosen vessels of Your favour and lights of the world in their several generations.  And we most humbly beseech You to give us grace so to follow their good examples; that with them we may be partakers of their heavenly kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Father of spirits, we have joy at this time in all who have faithfully lived, and in all who have peacefully died.  We thank You for all their memories and all lively hopes for the sacred ties that bind us to the unseen world, for the dear and holy dead who compass us as a cloud of witness, and make the distant heaven a home to our hearts. May we be followers of those who now inherit these promises, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name; Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.  Do not bring us to the time of trial but deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours now and forever.  Amen

My gracious Master and my God : EMHB 1

8.           SERMON

9.           HYMN EMHB 1                         YMHB 1      (Mama favourite hymn)

1.    O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace!

2.    My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim, (abroad

To spread through all the earth

To honours of Thy name.

3.    Jesus! The name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease;

‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,

‘Tis life, and health, and peace.

4.    He speaks, and, listening to His voice,

New life the dead receive,

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,

The humble poor believe.

5.    He breaks the power of cancelled sin,

He sets the prisoner free

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

6.    See all your sins on Jesus laid:

The Lamb of God was slain,

His soul was once an offering made

For every soul of man.

1.    Mba le ni egberun ahon

Kin yin Olugbala

Ogo Olorun Oba mi

Isegun ore Re.

2.    Baba mi at’ Olorun mi

Fun mi ni iranwo Re

Kin le ro ka gbogbo aiye

Ola oruko re.

3.    Jesus t’O s’eru wa d’ayo

T’O mu banuje tan

Orin ni l’ eti elese

Iye ati ‘lera.

4.    O soro, oku gbohun Re,

O gba emi titun

Oniro-binuje y’ ayo,

Otosi si gbagbo.

5.    O segun agbara ese,

O da ara tubu

E je Re le w’ eleri mo

Y’ O we mi mo pelu.

6.    Wo a k’ ese nyin le Jesu

Od’-agutan t’ a pa

Eniti a ti fi rubo

Fun gbogbo enia.

Give me the wings of faith to rise : EMHB 831

Hymn EMHB 831                           YMHB 613

1.    Give me the wings of faith to rise

Within the veil, and see

The saints above, how great their joys,

How bright their glories be.

2.    Once they were mourners here below,

And poured out cries and tears;

They wrestled hard, as we do now,

With sins, and doubts, and fears.

3.    I ask them whence their victory came;

They, with united breath,

Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,

Their triumph to His death.

4.    They marked the footsteps that He trod,

His zeal inspired their breast;

And, following their incarnate God,

Possess the promised rest.

5.    Our glorious Leader claims our praise

For His own pattern given;

While the long cloud of witnesses

Show the same path to heaven.

1.    Mba le f’ iye igbagbo fo

Wo inu ikele,

Ki nri ayo awon mimo,

B’ ogo won ti po to.

2.    Awon na sofo nihin ri,

Nwon si sokun pelu;

Nwon ba ese jijakadi,

B’a ti nse nisiyi.

3.    Mo bi won, bi nwon se segun;

Nwon f’ ohun kan wipe,

Agbara Od’-agutan ni,

Iku Re l’ ayo won.

4.    Nwon kiyesi ipase Re,

Itara Re mu won;

Ni pa gbigbo t’ Oluwa won,

Nwon jogun isimi.

5.    O to k’ a yin Amona wa,

F’ apere t’ o fun wa;

Bi opo awon eleri

Ti ntoka on’ orun.
