The choir is now singing, Jerusalem. (think that is the correct title)

The tune is Jerusalem, but the words are different. The words to Jerusalem are about the legend that Christ was brought to England when He was a boy, not really suitable for an American funeral.

O LOVE OF GOD, HOW STRONG AND TRUE

O love of God, how strong and true!
Eternal, and yet ever new;
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.

O love of God, how deep and great!
Far deeper than man’s deepest hate;
Self fed, self kindled, like the light,
Changeless, eternal, infinite.

O heavenly love, how precious still,
In days of weariness and ill,
In nights of pain and helplessness,
To heal, to comfort, and to bless!

O wide embracing, wondrous love!
We read thee in the sky above,
We read thee in the earth below,
In seas that swell, and streams that flow.

We read thee best in Him Who came
To bear for us the cross of shame;
Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.

We read thy power to bless and save,
E’en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light,
We read the fullness of thy might.

O love of God, our shield and stay
Through all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in thee we rest
Forever safe, forever blest.

I used the cyberhymnal.org search to get the words, however, the tune playing at below link is "Brookfield", not "Jerusalem".
