"Lisa at Deo Volente is another blogger that I'd love to meet with and share some coffee. She's been through some rough circumstances in her life, and she's come through them clearly showing the grace of God, and honouring Him through those circumstances. Her various posts are sometimes funny, often really make you think, and always theologically sound."-Jen at JoythruChrist
Lisa is passionate about her reformed faith and her posts reflect how her faith is practically applied to situations in her life. Very difficult ones, from time to time...Ukrainiac
"Lisa's site has become one of my new favorites to read and to participate. I think she brings a nice touch to the application of theology to everday life as a woman and as a mother. It's sort of like Secret— strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." -Young Wilderness Voice
"Praise the Lord! I have finally found the sold-out, brainy Christian women bloggers, and from what I can tell so far, most of them are Reformed to boot! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. It was just a matter of time. I was directed to Lisa’s blog this morning ...which led to Carla’s blog ... and these are leading me to many others." -Katy at Logoscentric

A Mighty Fortress is my husband's favorite hymn. Actually I would love every one of the hymns you listed to also be sung at my funeral. :-) Especially It is Well With My Soul.
I Need Thee Every Hour is my favorite when thinking about motherhood. But I didn't think it was a hymn for a funeral.
My pastor asked everyone at our Thursday night Bible Fellowship to consider this. It was actually a joy to ponder the words of these hymns. It was really hard to pick just 3.

Isn't it funny, when you ask this kind of question, songs like "I could sing of your love" and other songs that repeatedly use the first person pronoun just don't come to mind?

Well, except for I Boast No More.
I imagine all of the Jesus is my boyfriend songs would be completely eliminated from the list.

Of the 11 e-mails I have gotten so far as a result of this post, 8 of them have A Mighty Fortress is Our God listed and 6 of them have It is Well With My Soul.

To quote Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp version), "Hey, that was my idea!"
:)
Seriously, it's not a surprise that those two are at the top of the list. Another one I thought of was "Pass Me Not". We had it sung at my mother-in-law's funeral last summer...WOW!

You pick some really good hymns...I really love "In Christ Alone". I agree with you...it is hard to pick just three. One hymn that I always love that declares the LORD King of Kings and Lord of Lords and we echo with Aleluias always brings much joy to my soul.
