GOING HOME

AS WE GATHER JUST ONCE MORE
TO SEND A SOUL ON HOME ---

SILENT ANGELS WINGS WE HEAR AS
HARP STRINGS SING HER SONG ---

GOLDEN STAIRS WITH GATES FLUNG WIDE
AS ANOTHER SOUL STEPS INSIDE

HER GOD SHE SEES --- HER RACE IS WON

SO STRONG OUR SORROW --- HOW GREAT
OUR LOSS ---

ANOTHER DAUGHTER HOME
