Songs from Emma's Memorial Service

Opening Song 

'Each Life That Touches Ours for Good'

LDS Hymns #293

 

 

Each life that touches ours for good

Reflects thine own great mercy Lord;

Thou sendest blessings from above

Thru words and deeds of those who love.

 

What greater gift dost thou bestow,

What greater goodness can we know

Than Christlike friends,

whose gentle ways

Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.

 

When such a friend from us departs,

We hold forever in our hearts

A sweet and hallowed memory,

Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.

 

For worthy friends whose lives proclaim

Devotion to the Savior's name,

Who bless our days with peace and love,

We praise thy goodness, Lord above.

'I'm Trying to be Like Jesus'

LDS Children's Songbook #78

 

I'm trying to be like Jesus;

I'm following in his ways.

I'm trying to love as He did,

in all that I do and say..

At times I am tempted

to make a wrong choice,

But I try to listen

as the still small voice whispers,

"Love one another as Jesus loves you.

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,'

for these are the things Jesus taught."

Closing Song

'Love One Another'

LDS Hymn #308

 

As I have loved you, Love one another.

This new commandment:

Love one another.

By this shall men know

Yes are my disciples

If ye have love one to another.
