EGDEMENTS
So grieve a whifol r me e, if grieve you must. Then, let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart | won'bte far away, for life goeson, So if you need me, call, and | will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear -- All my love around you, soft and clea And then, when you must come this way alone We'll meet in Heaven around God's throne
