Do not grieve for me, my dear ones
Now that I have gone away.
I've only stepped quietly through the door
Into the dawn of a brighter day.
If you could see the beauty
Of the garden I'm walking through,
If you could feel the touch of his hand,
You would want to walk here too.
If you could see the sunshine,
With no dark shadows lurking near,
If you could know the joy supreme,
I find with my Lord so dear,
Where pain no more can touch me,
Where no sorrow can ever be,
You would be glad I slipped away,
To this beautiful land of eternity.
I'm waiting for you, my dear ones,
I'll be watching day by day,
And I'll ask our Father to guide you,
Lest you falter along the way.
So, when the day is over,
And the night is drawing nigh,
I'll pray you too will find it only a step,
Where walk my precious Lord and I.
