Reminding those whom you support that your thoughts are with them. ~ Mary Ellen, Barry, Gene, and families June 29, 2019, 9:11 PM CST 
Bill Faison was an outstanding man who cared for so many with quiet
and compassionate strength. I am certain that at the moment of his
passing he heard our Lord and Savior say, "Well done, my good and
faithful servant." ~ Gene Kerns June 30, 2019, 3:06 PM CST I'm so
sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort provide the strength
and endurance you need to keep going, and may the precious memories
you have of Bill sustain you during this most difficult time. (1
Corinthians 1:3,4; Revelation 21:4,5)

one of the nicest gentlemen I ever met. I know you will miss him so
much. May you take comfort in knowing he is at peace. Much love to
you. Betty Travis

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 09 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
