Farewell

God knew how we'd miss you when he caused you to go
God knew how we loved you on earth here below
God knew that the tears that to sad hearts belong
Would spring as a fountain from this loved one that's gone

Chorus

Farewell 'till we meet you on the other shore
Farewell 'till you greet me when life is o'er
Farewell 'till God opens for me the door
And my soul from my body to realms above soar

We know you are happy in God's bright realms above
We know He sent the Savior that taught us His great love
We know that the Savior who was slain on Calvary
Will welcome this loved one o'er that unknown sea

Chorus

The Savior who lived on this earth here below
The Savior who's there when our loved ones all go
The Savior who's body was nailed to the cross
Will be there to meet us in Heaven, this loved one you've lost

Chorus
