When 1 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 His 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 1 in turn will comfort you
and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die
For lam waiting for you in the sky.

Please don't sing sad songs for me.
Forget your grief 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 is perfect peace
A joy forever new.
