Theres a place
Ive never seen
Beyond this world we know.
A place Ive only heard of
But someday hope to go -
Its not on any map
There are no roads
To TAKE ME THERE.
But its a place of perfect peace
Where hearts are free from care.
And though I understand
Some may be saddended
When I leave,
One day we all will meet again -

Thats what I believe ...

N
When its time to travel there,
I think Ill wear a smile,
Ill SAY GOOD-BYE to THOSE I LOVE,
But only for awhile,
Knowing there are others
Who have traveled there alone
Js
HO CANNOT WAIT TO GREET ME
...
/
*
And to whisper welcome home.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flowr that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purplE'Headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
4
TO GATHER EVERY DAY.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And Lit>s that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
