    Is this the song you're looking for? - Hard Trials Will Soon Be Over

    I found sheet music for it and it's also on a CD entitled "Turn Your Radio On".

    A song is probably best way to say goodbye. We should never forget that.

    This is a great lens. In a time of grief, or when planning a funeral service, it's hard to come up with ideas. This is a help.

    I love gospel music and especially Fanny Crosby. This would love to add a link to this onto the Senior Church lens I just put up. The seniors enjoy traditional hymns, gospel and even have let me sing kids favorites and camp songs from the 60's. The newest music, not so much.

    My daughter has been studying sign language for the last couple of years, since she was in high school. She has signed to songs such as My Redemer Lives, I can only imagine, Amazing Grace and several others. She had done these at church. She had also signed songs at both of her grandfathers funerals and several others. She had even been requested to sign at other funerals for friends. She is very graceful and when she signs, the congregation can feel the presence from it. With her signing, she has brought tears to many of people, who have been touched by her signing. We had many people come up to her and tell her, that that was the first time that had seen it done at a funeral and really enjoyed it.

    Wow! Similar to the other poster, I'm not accustomed to Gospel music, but the moment I heard the song which automatically plays on you page I felt something. Such a powerful expression of music and faith!

    We're not accustomed to gospel songs for funerals here, it's a typical American thing, but it's definitely touching and really hits me like a bullet each time I hear such songs!
