Introduction: Rev Robin McKenzie
Hymn: All things bright and
beautiful
Refrain
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 colors,
He made their tiny wings.
Refrain
The
purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
Refrain
The
cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
Refrain
The
tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.
Refrain
He
gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
Eulogies and Poems
Hymn: Make me a channel of
your peace
Make
me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love;
Where there is injury your pardon, Lord;
And where there's doubt true faith in you.
Refrain:
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light;
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Refrain
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
In giving to all men that we receive;
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
Refrain
Psalm 23: read by Michael
Duviau
Period of Reflection: Music, Lightning

Address: Rev Robin McKenzie
Prayers: The Lord’s Prayer
Hymn: Morning has broken
Morning
has broken,
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird;
Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word.
Sweet the rain's new fall,
Sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall
On the first grass;
Praise for the sweetness,
Of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light
Eden saw play;
Praise with elation,
Praise every morning,
God's re-creation
Of the new day.
Blessing:
Rev Robin McKenzie

Thank you for sharing with us
this celebration of Simon’s life.
Simon would not have wanted
anyone to feel sad today. He would have wanted us all to be happy, so we would
like you to join us at The King William in his memory.
Let us remember Simon as the
gregarious, fun loving and big hearted gentleman that he was.
The
family would very much welcome visitors to Simon’s memorial website which can
be found at www.simon-woodward.co.uk.
Please
feel free to add your own personal memories of Simon.
