Beyond the Veil

When I have passed beyond the earthly veil

And left behind the shadow and the gale

Mourn not for me as if the light has died

For now I walk with the Savior at my side

Among the saints and kin of long ago

I find the peace that only God can show

So if you wish, remember me with love

And let me rest within the light above

For I am home, where every tear is dried

And ancient gates are opened far and wide

Yes, if you wish, remember me today

Until we meet where shadows fade away

I am not lost, I've simply gone ahead

To join the host of those the world calls dead

But here we live, and here we labor still

To do with joy our Father's holy will

I'll keep a place for you within the light

Until we meet where there is no more night

The work goes on, the love is deeper now

A crown of peace upon a weary brow

I will remember you

In perfect light and love
