Rejoicing in Paradise

.......to Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Leung and Jason

Even though our dear loved ones have gone first, I believe that some day will come when we’ll be reunited and together forever in the light of God, so….... 

saying"Rejoicing in Paradise" rather than "Rest in Peace"

Should You Go First And I Remain
To Walk The Road Alone
I've Live In Memory's Garden Dear
With The Happy Days We've Known
In Spring I'll Watch For Roses Red
When Fades The Lilacs Blue
And In Early Fall
When Brown Leaves call
I'll Catch A Glimpse Of You.

Should You Go First And I Remain
To Finish With The Scroll
No Lengthening Shadows Shall Creep In
To Make This Life seem Droll
We've Known So Much of Happiness
And We've Had Our Cup Of Joy
But Memory Is One Gift Of God
That Death Cannot Destroy.

Should You Go First And I Remain
For Battles To Be Fought
Each Thing You've Touched Along The Way
Will Be A Hallowed Spot
I'll Hear Your Voice 
I'll See Your Smile
Though Blindly I May Grope
The Memory Of Your Helping Hand
Will Buoy Me On With Hope.

Should You Go First And I Remain
One Thing I'd Have You Do
Walk Slowly Down That Long, Long Path
For Soon I'll Follow You.
I'll Want To Know Each Step You Take
That I May Walk The Same
For Someday Down That Lonely Road
You'll Hear Me Call Your Name.

我不知明天的道路，每一天只為主活。
我不借明天的太陽，因明天或許陰暗，
我不要為將來憂慮，因我信主的應許，
我今天要與主同行，因祂知前面如何。
有許多未來的事情，我現在不能識透，
但我知誰管著明天，我也知誰牽我手。

每一步越走越光明，像攀登黃金階梯；
每重擔越挑越輕省，每朵雲披上銀衣；
在那裡陽光常普照，在那裡沒有眼淚；
在美麗彩虹的盡頭，眾山嶺與天相連。
有許多未來的事情，我現在不能識透，
但我知誰管著明天，我也知誰牽我手。

我不知明天的道路，或遭遇生活苦楚；
但那位養活麻雀者，祂必然也看顧我，
祂是我旅途的良伴，或經過水火之災，
但救主必與我同在，祂寶血把我遮蓋。
有許多未來的事情，我現在不能識透，
但我知誰管著明天，我也知誰牽我手。
