Gone where the loved are waiting,
Gone where the loved ones dwell.
Where pain and death cannot enter,
And never the word "farewell".
Gone where we soon shall follow,
In the path we all most tread.
For the way to heaven lies only,
Through the valley of the dead.
Resting in blissful slumber,
With never a sigh or moan.
Gone to swell the blessed number,
Of saints around the throne.
