"I'll Fly Away, 
 
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many 
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a placefor you: And ifI go and prepare a 
placefor you, I will come again, and receive you unto 
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
