Order of Christian Funerals

Funeral Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Canticles

Below, you will find links to recordings of various hymns, etc. for funerals.

Many of the links will take you to professional recordings on YouTube or Spotify. (You don't need accounts to listen on either platform).

Some will take you to "amateur" recordings hosted on another site.

A CD will be available soon.

Entrance Hymns are below, followed by Psalms, Offertory, Communion, and Recessional.

If a link doesn't work, it probably means that a recording does not yet exist but will be coming soon!

Some of the recordings may have verses that don't exist in the printed version found in the planning booklet. They may also skip a verse or two, or there might be slight word differences. We will sing the version in the booklet.

Entrance Hymns

All Creatures of Our God and King
Come to Me, O Weary Traveler
Dwellers in the Holy City
For the Beauty of the Earth
God of Love, Whose Mercies
Grant Them Eternal Rest 
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
I Know that My Redeemer Lives, That I Shall Rise Again
If Christ Had Not Been Raised
Lord of All Hopefulness
Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service
The Lord is My Hope

Be Not Afraid
In Every Age
In the Arms of the Shepherd

There is a Longing
You Are Near

Taste and See 
Unless a Grain of Wheat
We Remember

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
May the Road Rise to Meet You
O God, Beyond All Praising

There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy
Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones
