Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

There's only one guard at the casket. Just wondering what he'd do if some "mourner" tried to make a political statement or do something rotten.

Probably beat their brains out along with everyone else who we can't see on the camera.

and its working. the sign-offs on the network's coverage - a final message of high praise for RR. Mission accomplished.

[Wondervixen]

Where's all the boozing and party politicing at???

Oh, right...Reagan DID convert from "the other party" years ago.

I just wonder if Paul Wellstone WAS embarassed from where he was watching at HIS memorial?

[don-o]

To Ronnie, the man who brought America back from the brink. Twice.

Hear, hear

[glasseye]

God Bless President Reagan.

He has.

God has blessed us all.

Tears for a great American and a great man.

[Ciexyz]

Lady Thatcher....God bless her.

Hearing the horse whinny as the jets began to fly over was a great little unscripted moment.
Thanks for the bice realplayer stream cbs; and to you all for the nice comments and screenies.

The sun is going down over the golden hills.

Dearest Lord Jesus,,,a wonderful hymn. Fairest Lord Jesus, sorry

[BreitbartSentMe]

I have to take my Sister-In-Law to LAX on Monday, and I just printed out the map to tke the extra 1 hour each way to go by the Reagan Library and pay my respects. I couldn't go to the earlier events here, but I will make time for it on Monday. I have to.

[Scothia]

Pray to God that sunset is not a portent...

My cousin just called and we were crying together and reflecting on the service and I said the same thing. "I hope Nancy can come back after everyone leaves and spend more time saying goodbye."

God bless her. She loves him so.

I was just fine - really, it was only a little mist - until the Army guy gave the flag to the unit commander and gave that slow salute. Reagan's men didn't want to leave him either.

[PhiKapMom]

I lost it totally when they handed her the flag and when she cried on the casket. That was so sad!

[LadyPilgrim]

I hate to be dumb. But is the platform going to turn or lower?

[arasina]

I have a lot of respect for that drummer! Keeping up the drumroll quite nicely.

[Mo1]

Prayers for Mrs. Reagan, strengthen her from here out. This is gonna be tough.

Yes it will be ...I am glad to see the children are so caring towards her

She is going to need them more then ever to get through this

[Bahbah]

I think it's alright about the cameras. He was all of ours. We need to be there.
