To a land where sin and sorrow comes no more. In this dark world she was brigth shining light To guide lost sinner to an upward flight. But we know that God knew best, When He called her to rest. She lived a life that we all would know, She was now willing to go. Now she has gone to that land of love, Where all is peace in the hame above. Let us weep not, dear ones- she is at rest, To wait for all the good and best - In that fiar land on yonder shore- Where sorrow and death shall be no more.
