{ /Jo/I

't spend too much time in mourning.

Tears are for the sad . I left to be with Jesus, and
this should make you glad . {/Jo/I 't waste your
hours in grieving . No need to feel distress.
I'm tired of life's frustrations , and had to get some rest.
{ /Jo/I 't vex yourself with questions, or try to reason why.
Life here for me was ended ; it came my time to die.
{ /Jo/I 't lose the love I gave you ; feed it with your care.
Grow it with devotion and
spread it everywhere. {/Jo/I 't fret because my
leaving came in such a way. We'll have another
meeting , in God's Eternal Day!
