In time of light, in time of darkness,
We gather in this place.

With the memories of the long years,
On this day we share that which is good
And that which brings us comfort and hope

Go Now in Peace

Go now in peace, never be afraid,
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know he will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
