In church yesterday, I began thinking again about funeral hymns and the singing I'd like to "see me off." Here's one, a great favorite of mine and wonderfully appropriate for funerals. The video is from an All Saints Sunday at a Methodist Church in Arlington, Va.
The hymn should be sung by the congregation, all eight (or however many) verses. Other congregational hymn: "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" and "Immortal, Invisible" (with the lyrics "we blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree, we wither and perish but naught changeth thee."
