Gone to a Better World

Lyrics

Farewell, dear parents, I must go,
To that sweet home above,
God loves me so that He wants me
In that sweet home of love.

Chorus:

Oh! do not weep, dear friends, for me,
For I’ll be with my Lord,
Prepare to meet me up in heav’n,
And get your great reward.

Sister, I know that you’ll miss me,
Wherever you may go,
But God saw fit to take me from
This sinful world of woe.

(Chorus)

I know that you all wanted me,
But God knew it was best
For me to go up there to dwell,
In that sweet land of rest.

(Chorus)

I’ll say farewell to one and all,
I am going away,
I hope to meet you all up there,
In yonder happy place.

(Chorus)
