hymn to tune of Edelweiss

My neighbor's father, who recently passed away, used to sing a hymn to the tune of Edelweiss. The first lines were, "Lord of life, Lord of love," or vice versa. I'm hoping to be able to find the lyrics for her.

Hi Mia,

I wish I had better news, but I'm unable to find this one. The only hymn I found to the tune of "Edelweiss" was a Thanksgiving hymn (see below). I'm sure this isn't what you're looking for, but I've pasted it below for your reference...

Perhaps someone else reading this can help?

Thanks,
Steve

Come dear Lord, be our guest
As we gather together.
May our heart glow with love,
Keep us close to you ever.

Friendship and joy, may they bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever,
Bless our homes, bless our friends,
Bless our common endeavors.

Thank you God, for this day,
Bless all those who greet it.
May your love glow with peace,
May your love go forth from us.

Friendship and peace may they bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Bless our friends, bless our work
Bless each of us forever

Hi Mia I am looking for the same lyrics. I was at a funeral in June and they sang the song. Any luck yet? I remember the middle part,
He is the way ,
the truth, the life,
thats it!

Found it! Thanks to my mom.

Unto You Who Believe

Unto you who believe,
Jesus Christ is precious.
He's the same yesterday,
This day and forever.
He's the Way, the Truth,
The Life, He's the King of Glory.
Praise the Lord , O my soul,
This day and forever.

We used to sing the Benediction song to the tune of Edelweiss, but due to copyright laws, we had to stop. These are the words we used to sing:

May the Lord, Mighty God
Bless and keep you forever
Grant you peace, perfect peace
courage in every endeavor
Lift your eyes and see His face,
and His grace forever
May the Lord, Mighty God
bless and keep you forever

Thanks Guest and Marymoon. This is one that really stumped me--I was also eager to hear the answer. Great find!

The verses I know are like this. I hope these are the correct works.

Go in Peace, Go in Love
Let's find joy with each other.
Go in Peace, Go in Love,
We are sister and brother.

Fed by Spirit with strength each day
to find our way together
Go in Peace, Go in Love,
God be with us forever.

We use this to close our church service every Sunday.
If anybody has the correct words, please let me know.

Just out of interest there is another song sung by the Gaither's to this tune:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord Hallelujah,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord Hallelujah.

King of kings and Lord of lords,
Praise his name forever,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord hallelujah.

I found this on the internet:

May the Lord, mighty God bless and keep you forever
By His grace and His might help you in every endeavor.
Long may His grace be kind to you, may it fail you never.
May the Lord, mighty God bless and keep you forever.

Lord of life, Lord of love walk forever beside us.
Day by day, show the way be thou our vision to guide us.
Striving to follow Thy noble plan nothing can divide us.
Lord of life, Lord of love walk forever beside us.
