"When I Must Leave You"
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name live on and do all things
the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
I HAVE A PLACE IN HEAVEN
Please don't sing sad songs for me
Forget your griefs and fears
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears
I'm far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side
My life on earth was very good
As earthly lives can go
But paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing too
To walk with God in perfect peace
A joy forever new!
