Life's but a fleeting moment,
How swiftly time goes by.
Lord, help me leave my loved ones
More than tear stained eyes.

Will they recall my singing
Strained and just off key,
Songs of joy and praises
My dear Lord to thee?

Can they hear me saying
That Your love lifted me
Out of pits of darkness
And set my spirit free?

Do they know I'm going
To Your Home up On High
And I expect to see them
Coming bye and bye?

If I could leave a sign post
That I once walked down here,
Let it read, "Remember,
God's call you must hear.

There is no other promise!
On your heart impress
-JESUS IS THE ANSWER-
He gives peace and rest.

Mid all life's toil and sorrow
Christ meets the toughest test.
Real strength you have to borrow;
His love supplies it best."

My life's work then ended,
A witness I'll have been,
Quiet, strong and constant
To all who lacked a friend.

I'll fly to meet the Master,
Creator of my soul.
I will have lived the message,
I will have reached my goal.

Oh wondrous, joyous Heaven,
Oh blessed Peaceful Shore,
Where I can be with Jesus,
My soul at rest once more.
