Oak Ridge Boys perform Amazing Grace at HW Bush funeral [FULL VIDEO]

The Oak Ridge Boys perform Amazing Grace at the funeral of President George H. W Bush in Houston, Texas.

George H.W. Bush, who shaped history as 41st president and patriarch of a family that occupied the White House for a dozen years, will be laid to rest Thursday in College Station, alongside wife Barbara and daughter Robin.

Before he is taken to his final resting place, an invite-only funeral service with about 1,200 guests will be held at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston at 10 a.m. CST.

The president's body was lying in repose at the church from 6 p.m Wednesday until 6 a.m. Thursday. Nearly 12,000 mourners visited the church to pay their respects to the president, whose casket returned to Houston Wednesday afternoon after a state funeral in Washington D.C. that offered high praise for the last of the presidents to have fought in World War II - and a hefty dose of humor about a man once described as a cross between Mister Rogers and John Wayne.
