[male vocals] Oh,
heaven’
s
gates
swing
wide
tonight
We
honor
the
shepherd,
we
carry
the
light
The
pulpit
is
quiet,
the
sanctuary
still
We
bow
in
the
shadow
of
Your
holy
will
Bishop
Thuma,
you
ran
the
race
so
true
We’
re
holding
the
mantle
that
fell
from
you
Through
every
valley,
you
pointed
the
way
Now
you’
ve
found
the
dawning
of
an
eternal
day
Thank
You
Jesus,
for
the
life
that
he
led
Rest
in
the
comfort,
let
the
spirit
be
fed
Rest
now,
Bishop
Thuma,
your
labor
is
done
You’
ve
crossed
over
Jordan,
your
battle
is
won
In
the
arms
of
the
Savior,
you’
re
finally
home
No
more
heartaches,
no
more
to
roam
Glory,
hallelujah,
the
victory
is
deep
While
we
stay
here
watchin’,
you’
re
falling
asleep
Rest
now,
Bishop
Thuma,
your
reward
is
near
Heaven’
s
choir
singing,
the
message
is
clear
Your
voice
was
a
river
of
wisdom
and
grace
Reflecting
the
love
on
the
Master’
s
own
face
You
preached
of
the
kingdom,
you
taught
us
to
pray
You
walked
in
the
light
of
the
narrowest
way
Yes
Lord,
we
feel
the
ache
in
our
chest
But
we
know
that
the
faithful
have
entered
their
rest
Bishop
Thuma,
your
legacy
stays
in
our
soul
Guiding
the
broken,
and
making
them
whole
Rest
now,
Bishop
Thuma,
your
labor
is
done
You’
ve
crossed
over
Jordan,
your
battle
is
won
In
the
arms
of
the
Savior,
you’
re
finally
home
No
more
heartaches,
no
more
to
roam
Glory,
hallelujah,
the
victory
is
deep
While
we
stay
here
watchin’,
you’
re
falling
asleep
Rest
now,
Bishop
Thuma,
your
reward
is
near
Heaven’
s
choir
singing,
the
message
is
clear
Though
the
tears
may
fall
like
the
morning
rain
Your
faith
in
the
fire
removed
every
pain
Amen,
we
say,
for
the
mantle
you
wore
You’
re
standing
now
on
that
golden
shore
We’
ll
see
you
again
in
the
morning
light
Faithful
servant,
sleeping
tonight
So
let
the
organ
swell
with
a
hollow,
soft
sound
For
the
Bishop
who
planted
the
seed
in
this
ground
His
words
were
a
shelter,
his
spirit
was
strong
He’
s
joined
in
the
chorus
of
the
heavenly
song
Praise
Him
for
the
time
that
he
stood
in
the
gap
Now
he
rests
secure
in
the
Father’
s
own
lap
Rest
now,
Bishop
Thuma,
your
labor
is
done
You’
ve
crossed
over
Jordan,
your
battle
is
won
In
the
arms
of
the
Savior,
you’
re
finally
home
No
more
heartaches,
no
more
to
roam
Glory,
hallelujah,
the
victory
is
deep
While
we
stay
here
watchin’,
you’
re
falling
asleep
Rest
now,
Bishop
Thuma,
your
reward
is
near
Heaven’
s
choir
singing,
the
message
is
clear
Rest
well,
Bishop
Thuma
Your
work
is
finished,
the
victory
is
won
Amen,
amen,
we’
ll
see
you
soon
Rest
in
