Please don't sing sad songs,

Forget your grief and fears,

For I am in a perfect place,

Away from pain and tears...

I'm for away from hunger,

And hurt and want and pride.

I have a place in heaven,

With the Master at my side,

My life on earth was very good,

as eathly lives can go,

But Paradise is so much more

Than anyone can know...

My heart is filled with happiness,

And sweet rejoicing, too.

To walk with God a perfect peace,

A joy forever new.
