Oh Lord, be gentle with him. Be merciful and kind;
For he was loved so dearly B y those he left behind,
Walk slo w ly with him, Lord, As you take him to the Promised Land.
Stay ever b y his side, Sing sw eetly in his ears A n d when he cries of m issing us G ently w ipe aw ay his tears. And, Lord, w hen w hat w e 've asked is done, We p ra y our hearts y o u 'll touch. A n d let him know we love him so, A nd we miss him just as much.
