Be such a man and live such a life, 
that if every man were such as you, 
and every life a life like yours, 
this earth would be Gods Paradise.

Theres an open gate at the end of the road 
Through which each must go alone. 
And there in a light we cannot see. 
Our Father claims His own. 
Beyond the gate. He will find happiness and rest 
And there is comfort in the thought 
That a loving God knows best.
