How difficult it is to find the words to say goodbye to our Fathers. Let these funeral poems for Dad give you verses to use.
Our Dads are people we look up to all of our life and when they pass it is difficult.
We hope these poems express thoughts about your Father.
This day to our loving Dad, goodbye we say
We will see him again in Heaven someday.
Our Dad was a steady hand, his love for us never strayed.
He was our source of strength to guide us along the way.
The love he shared so long and true,
His prayers blessed us through and through.
Farewell my Dad we will miss you so,
We know your presence will make Heaven glow.
Pass Over to Thy Rest
Poet: H. Bonar
From this bleak hill of storms,
To yon warm, sunny heights,
Where love forever shines.
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From hunger and from thirst.
From toil and weariness,
From shadows and from dreams,
Pass over to thy rest.
The rest of God!
From weakness and from pain.
From trembling and from strife.
From watching and from fears,
Pass over to thy rest.
The rest of God!
From vanity and lies,
From mockery and snares,
From disappointed hopes.
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From unrealities,
From hollow scenes of change,
From ache and emptiness,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From this unanchored world.
Whose morrow none can tell.
From all things restless here,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
Dad, I miss you more than I can say
Your smile brightened up my everyday
But now you're gone and the pain won't fade,
I'll cherish your memories and everything you've made
The world feels darker without your light
Rest easy in eternal rest tonight.
I love you, Dad.
My dad was a blessing to me
His joy and love set my heart free
He taught me values and so much more
Giving positive influence for what life has in store.
It's sad he is no longer here with us today
His memory lives on in our hearts always.
But I'm comforted knowing we'll meet once again
In heaven, one day we will ascend.
