We offer humble thanks to you,
As one we cherish left us here
To Join with God as Heaven’s heir
And sing His praise as angels do.
As one with God you saw us through,
And one by one your love was there.
We offer humble thanks to you
For sharing in the loss we bear.
Your words soft-writ we hold onto;
You held our hands through dark despair
Then lit our dark with flower’d cheer
As prayers’ crescendo quickly grew.
We offer humble thanks to you.
