I livedfor those who loved me, Whose hearts were kind and true: For the heavens that smile above me, 
And awaited my spirit, too. I lived to hold communion, 
With all that was divine; Andfelt there was a union, Between God's heart and mine, I livedfor those who knew me true; For the heaven that smile above me, Andfor the good that I could do.
