I won’t be far away for Life goes on. To Those Whom I Love & Those Who Love Me It is only for a while that we must part, When I am gone, release me, let me go. So treasure the memories within your heart. I have so many things to see and do, I won’t be far away for life goes on. And if you need me, call and I will come. You mustn’t tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years. Though you can’t see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear, I gave you my love, and you can only guess All my love around you soft and clear. How much you’ve given me in happiness. And then, when you come this way alone, I thank you for the love that you have shown, I’ll greet you with a smile and a ‘Welcome Home’. But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

And life eternal gain, JESUS, my Saviour, Brother, Friend, Amen; so let it be: Knowing as I am known, On whom I cast my every care, Life from the dead is in that word, How shall I love that word, On whom for all things I depend, “Tis immortality, And oft repeat before the throne : Inspire, and then accept, my prayer. Here in the body pent, For ever with the Lord ! If I have tasted of Thy grace, Absent from Him I roam, MHB 99 The grace that sure salvation brings; Yet nightly pitch my moving tent HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds If with me now Thy spirit stays, A day’s march nearer home. In a believer’s ear! And hovering hides me in His wings: My Father’s house on high, It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, Still let Him with my weakness stay, Home of my soul, how near And drives away his fear. Nor for a moment’s space depart, At times, to faith’s foreseeing eye, It makes the wounded spirit whole, Evil and danger turn away, Thy golden gates appear ! And calms the troubled breast; And keep till He renews my heart. Ah! Then my spirit faints ‘Tis manna to the hungry soul, When to the right or left I stray, To reach the land I love, And to the weary rest. His voice behind me may I hear: The bright inheritance of saints, Dear name! the Rock on which I build, Return, and walk in Christ thy way; Jerusalem above. My shield, and hiding-place, Fly back to Christ, for sin is near. For ever with the Lord ! My never-failing treasury, filled MHB 80 Father, if ‘tis Thy will, With boundless stores of grace!

And joy and glory in my Lord, Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Weak is the effort of my heart, Extolled above all thanks and praise. Fight, and I must prevail. And cold my warmest thought; So when my latest breath But when I see Thee as Thou art Shall rend the veil in twain, I’ll praise Thee as I ought. 28 IN LOVING MEMORY OF MRS FELICIA ASARE-DARKWA

Many a lamb forlorn and strayed, Happy souls! Their praises flow The Lord is by His judgments known; Shelters each, no more to roam, In this vale of sin and woe; He helps His poor afflicted one, Where the wolf can ne’er invade. Waters in the desert rise, His sorrows all He bears in mined; There the penitents who turn Manna feeds them from the skies, The mourner shall not always weep, To the Cross their dying eyes On they go from strength to strength, Who sows in tears in joy shall reap, All the love of Jesus learn Till they reach Thy throne at length; With grief who seeks with joy shall find At His feet in paradise. At Thy feet adoring fall, A helpless soul that looks to Thee MHB 679 Who hast led them safe through all. Is sure at last Thy face to see, PLEASANT are Thy courts above, Lord, be mine this prize to win : And all Thy goodness to partake; In the land of light and love; Guide me through a world of sin; The sinner who for Thee doth grieve, Pleasant are Thy courts below, Keep me by Thy saving grace; And longs, and labours to believe, In this land of sin and woe. Give me at Thy side a place, Thou never, never wilt forsake. O my spirit longs and faints Sun and shield alike Thou art; MHB 976 For the converse of Thy saints, Guide and guard my erring heart ; Now the labourer’s task is o’er, For the brightness of Thy face, Grace and glory flow from Thee; Now the battle-day is past; For Thy fullness, God of grace ! Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me ! Now upon the father shore Happy birds that sing and fly Amen. Lands the voyager at last. Round Thy alters, O Most High !
