Eternal Father
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in dangers hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Rest now Tonk you are in the arms of the Lord.

My God, why did you take our brother?
Angles took the wrong one - not him - another.
Regret is a feeling that we feel everyday;
You took him from us, and we didn’t say -
“We Love You, Brian,” in my own way;
Only to hear him say it back to us.
God, why couldn’t you just let us be?
He didn’t deserve to die;
Didn’t deserve to be in pain,
Only to leave us here asking you why -
Night after night when we cry in vain.
May we all find comfort in the sure and certain knowledge of the resurection on that Glorious Day when the Curtain of death is at last parted and the faithful through all ages are reunited.

Oh no. Your long fight is over, Tonk. Time for you to rest in peace. The rest of us will keep it going until we come to join you.
God bless you, tonk.
