RECESSIONAL;
It is difficult to recommend songs at this part of the service. Be free to choose something that is particularly appropriate and in special memory of your friend.
Here are songs I have played in the past just to give you an idea:
All God's Children
Amazing Grace
Beautiful Lady (Una O Boyle)
Bring Him Home
Bright Blue Rose
Candles Long Ago
Colours Of Day
Danny Boy
Fields Of Gold
Going Home
Just A Closer Walk
Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace
Maybe
May The Circle Be Unbroken
Love Me Tender
Nearer My God To Thee
Reach Out And Touch The Lord
Steal Away To Jesus
The Old Rugged Cross
What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Wonderful World
The following is a song I wrote for my Aunty when she passed on:
Beautiful
Lady
Beautiful
Lady, beautiful you,
You don’t look a day of your eighty-two.
Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
Will you look after me when I get there too?
Tabhair
dom do lámh
Beir greim ar mo lámh
‘S bi liomsa le ceangaill na láimh
(Give me your hand, take a hold of my hand and be with me with the tying of
hands)
Beautiful
Lady, beautiful you,
You had time for this tinkerbell out of the blue.
Beautiful Lady, beautiful you,
It's time to go home now, just travelling through.
Tabhair
dom do lámh
Beir greim ar mo lámh
‘S bi liomsa le ceangaill na láimh
Go
to sleep entwined in his arms
For he will protect you and all of your charms.
Take good care, someday we’ll meet you there
To share the paradise home in the sky.
Beautiful
Lady, beautiful you,
It's time to go home now, just travelling through.
Tabhair
dom do lámh
Beir greim ar mo lámh
‘S bi liomsa le ceangaill na láimh
