Elder Robert D. Hales

It was such a sweet experience for me to be able to watch Elder Hales' funeral today.
I was so touched by it for so many reasons. Although, I should have known better,
with my heart so tender at this time of the year, than to listen to the closing hymn.
I couldn't quit sobbing. I'm so grateful to know this life is not the end. 

God be with you till we meet again;
By his counsels guide, uphold you;
With his sheep securely fold you.
God be with you till we meet again

God be with you till we meet again;
When life’s perils thick confound you,
Put his arms unfailing round you.
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you;
Smite death’s threat’ning wave before you.
God be with you till we meet again. 

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet,
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
