Howard Morrison

“A life well lived” A life well lived is a precious gift of hope and strength and grace From someone who has made our world a brighter, better place

It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad, with smiles and sometimes tears With friendships formed and good times shared, and laughter through the years

A life well lived is a legacy of joy and pride and pleasure A living, lasting memory our grateful hearts we’ll treasure.

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountain, The river running by,

The sunset, and the morning That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one.

He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell, How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.

Celtic Blessing

May the roads rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face May the rains fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

A Scottish Blessing

May the blessing of light be on you Light without and light within

May the blessed sunlight shine on you like a great peat fire

So that stranger and friend may come and warm themselves at it

And may light shine out of the two eyes of you Like a candle set in the window of a house

Bidding the wanderer come in out of the storm May the blessing of the rain be on you

May it beat upon your spirit And wash it fair and clean

And leave there a shining pool where the blue of Heaven shines

And sometimes a star May the blessing of the earth be on you

Soft under your feet as you pass along the roads Soft under you as you lie out on it,

tired at the end of day And may it rest easy over you when at last

you lie out under it May it rest so lightly over you

That your soul may be out from under it quickly Up and off on its way to God

And now may the Lord bless you, and bless you kindly – Amen
