Some glad mornin' when this life is over I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away

In tears we saw you sinking, and watched you fade away
Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you to stay
But when we saw you sleeping, so peaeefully and free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us, to suffer that again.
It breaks our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home..
