There is an open gate at the end of the road. Thru each must go alone,
And there is a light we cannot see Our father claims, his own
Beyond the gate your loved one finds; Happiness and rest.
And there is comfort in the thought A loving God knows best

TRIBUTE
I have finished nou with this house of clay. Please kindly and carefully lay it away. And let me rest from this life of pain; Toiling in sunshine, storm and ram, Trying to help the sick and poor, And turning no needy from my door. I strove to do my master's work N ever a duty did I shirk.
Many times I was misunderstood When l had done the best I could
I am tired now; so I need rest D on't cry, don't you know God knows best?
Please, no sad hearts, no hung down heads; D on't weep fo r me fo r l am not dead. I have another house you know, Where only God's redeemed can go. I do not need this house of clay; So, tenderly, carefully, lay it away.
