BE GENTLE , LORD
Be gentle with him now, dear Lord: He was a gentle man, you know. Open thy arms wide and welcome him in, For he was tired and full of woe.
Give him year tender loving care That shall make his spirit soar; Give him Thy gift of eternal life That he may rejoice evermore.
Make room for him in Thy glorious house, And perpare for him a bed On a soft white cloud with a pillow house, And prepare for him a bed On a soft white cloud with a pillow of satin. Where he may rest his weary head. Sometimes when the loss andgrief I feel Are almost mere than I can bear. I look to heaven with wide-open eyes And I can almost see him there.
Your Loving Mother
