I have told them all goodbye In sorrow I heard them cry, They ring my bed and pray, For I am leaving today. At last passing time is near God's angel voices I hear Softly whispering my name, It is for me they came. Holy Redeemer take me home For I have suffered so long, Gently touch my fevered brow Let the ease of death come now. Tenderly hold me to your breast As I receive my eternal rest Then let me soar to Heaven's door To dwell in your love forevermore. My life has been long and hard, My brittle heart but a shard, My body is weak and sick within Dear God let my journey begin. Eagerly I lie waiting unafraid Lord you forgave as I prayed My pathway to Heaven is laid, Take me as heartbeats fade. Now my midnight hour is here, God in your love I have no fear, Precious angels of my twilight Lift me to the far bright light. Bear me away on snow-white wings Beyond stars to The King of Kings, Carry me away to my eternal home And the peace awaited for so long. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
