As I travel down life’s pathway

Knowing not what the years may hold

As I ponder hopes grow fonder

Precious memories flood my soul.

“Death is nothing, nothing at all,

For I have only slipped away into the

next room.

I am I and you are you.

Whatever we were to each other, that

we are still.

Call me by name, speak

to me in the way you always used.

Why should I be out of mind because

I am out of sight.

I am waiting for

you somewhere near

and all is well.”

RV 77

God looked around His garden

And found an empty place,

He then looked down

Upon the earth

And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you

And lifted you to rest,

God's garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew you were in pain;

He knew that you would never

Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough,

And the hills were hard to climb;

So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered “Peace be Thine”.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

RV 78 A

Going home, going home,

I'm going home.

Quiet like some still day,

I'm just going home.

It's not far, just close by

Through an open door.

Work all done, care laid by,

Going to fear no more.

Mother's there expecting me,

Father's waiting too;

Lots of folk gathered there,

All the friends I knew.

Morning star lights the way;

Restless dreams all done;

Shadows gone, break of day,

Real life just begun.

There's no break, there's no end,

Just living on.

Wide awake with a smile'

Going on and on.

Going home, going home

I'm just going home.

It's not far, just close by

Through an open door

I'm just going home.

RV 76a

When I am gone, release me,

let me go.

I have so many things to see

and do.

You mustn't tie yourself to me

in tears,

Be happy that we had so

many years.

I gave to you my love. You can only guess

How much you gave to me

in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown,

But now it's time I travelled

on alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for awhile that we

must part,

So bless the memories within

your heart.

I won't be far away for life

goes on,

So if you need me call and I

will come.

Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.

And if you listen with your heart you'll hear,

All my love around you, soft

and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,

I'll greet you with a smile and a

'WELCOME HOME'.
