As of this publishing, over 135,000 people have found my one video collection of funeral hymns on YouTube, not including separate postings of each individual song. Because of this it's been on my mind for a long time to write a funeral song, but it was somehow just never the right time until just a few weeks ago when this one came pouring out in 5 minutes flat [which does not happen often, I can assure you!]. The culmination of years of playing for funerals, a bachelor degree in theology and sacred music, and many more years of writing and playing music through good times and also times full of grief, Lord of All Our Days is my very best and heartfelt attempt to serve those who are also dealing with the absolute heartache of loss, be it the acute, fresh grieving of just losing someone or the flashbacks that come time and time again, years and even decades later.

This song carefully and tenderly handles the true earth-shaking grief that it is to lose someone you love, while holding out a strong hope of the life to come for those who trust God. I had a very difficult time recording it without being moved to tears over and over, and I pray it will reach many in need of comfort, being of service to anyone who is looking for a Christian, Biblical funeral hymn for a memorial service or a celebration of life service. 

This is the full piano vocal arrangement in C major, a better key both for playing and for most singers' vocal ranges than the original version in B flat major.

Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, are the following versions:

Piano Vocal in Bb Minor to match the original recording [vocal range: Bb3-Bb4]
Lead Sheet for piano or guitar in C Major - best key for singing without a capo
Lead Sheet in G minor for piano or guitar [play capo 3 or more to match the original key]
A backup music mp3 track for soloists to perform with in a service, including the full backup choral arrangement.


For other formats including large print, a different key to match a soloist's preferred range, or piano solo for a matching prelude or postlude, please write me at staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll be glad to make them especially for you. Purchase includes a free license for one funeral or memorial service with under 1000 people, with proper attribution and credit in all printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.

Thank you for supporting modern hymnwriters and musicians!

A beautiful alto vocal solo with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.  This music was written to be used in funerals and other occasions.

Text:
1. Beyond the deep horizon and ever wand'ring hills,
There is a holy heaven when mortal life has stilled.
Beyond the clouds and rainbow, beyond each azure sky,
There is a place of total rest where peace forever lies.

2. Beyond the ocean currents and endless sandy shores,
There is a holy haven where strife will be no more.
Beyond each ev'ning's moonlight and ev'ry numbered star,
There is a place near heaven's view, a place which now seems far.

3. Beyond the reach of sunshine and warmth of summer days,
There is a God in heaven, and He will ever stay.
Beyond each earthly asking, where prayers are heaven sent,
There is a place where He resides and perfect Love is met.

Chorus: Home at last, to live in God's presence
where all will be at peace.
Home at last, where God's pure love
will shine and never, ever cease.

It is so Funny is a fun song about the way we look. As we get older our body does not always measure up to how it used to. We think it will never happen to us getting fat or losing hair, but the bible says beauty is fleeting and we, despite our best intentions with plastic surgery or botox cannot fight the aging process.

A fun to play and not to difficult arrangement of a classic old standard!
Illustrates the use of a chord-blocking technique that John and I have used in a number of our arrangments.
John and I hope you'll enjoy playing it and much as we enjoyed putting it together!
