(tune of O Christmas Tree)
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout should ask,
"Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to Be Prepared?" On My HonorOn my honor I'll do my best
To do my duty to God.
On my honor I'll do my best
To serve my country as I may.
On my honor I'll do my best
To do a good turn each day.
To keep my body strengthened.
To keep my mind awakend.
To follow paths of righteousness..
On my honor, I'll do my best.
What sound do they use for military funerals?
Many military funerals utilise music as part of the service tribute. Or it can be used during a flag ceremony. The tune 'Butterfield's Lullaby,' sometimes known by the first line of the lyrics 'Day is Done,' is generally played on a trumpet or bugle. The same tune, also known as 'Taps' is sounded by a bugler at dusk.
The lyrics, written by Horace Lorenzo Trim, are as follows
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing near
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise for our days
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky
As we go, this we know
God is nigh.
How do you find an old funeral program?
If one has the date of death, and of course the name of the person, the battle is half-won. Go to a Library and consult the newspaper ( on Microfilm) if you know somebody died in Jersey City on l0.3l.75 and know their name, the job is easy. One has to allow for the fact that people die on days when papers are not published ( sundays, major Holidays) and this is easily factored in. It is not that difficult a job.
If a nephew dies who do you send a sympathy card to?

Words taken directly from the bible are best. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the individual was "taken by God to be an angel", they do no believe people have an alloted time on earth so they con't usually say his or her "time had come".
Jehovah's Witnesses DO believe in a ressurrection, so the bible promises that the dead one will one day live again are acceptable.
