A t one Not dead— just gone before To wait on that eternal shore; To know in heaven's joyous land The bounties of our Father's hand. Not dead— just gone through The door which opens to the few Who on this earth have wisely trod, The only path whose end is— God. Not dead— just gone above To dwell in God's abounding love; To find a task awaiting there Whose greatness they alone may share. Not dead— just gone along To join in that victorious song, Ne'er to know earth's tears again, Saved by the Lamb for sinner* slain. No, my friends aren't dead, But just have gone a step ahead; To wait beyond the golden stair Till I one day shall join them there.
