Show me
the way to happiness, to a contented peaceful mind,
where earthly concerns count as nothing and faith is the special
kind.
Guide me through this jungle to a haven of tranquil thought,
where journey’s end is a prospect, and not with peril fraught.
Walk
with me past the shadows, on the road to a paradise found,
where illness, pain and famine expire, and the good and joyful
abound.
Lead me across life’s thoroughfare, to sanctuary on the other side,
where safety reigns in abundance, with no need for time or tide.
Arrive with me at the gates of gold, which open to eternal
rest,
where old friends are there to welcome me, in a land reserved for
the blest.
Partake with me of the cup of joy, and in a splendour to behold,
where health is wealth to the weary, and to all within the fold.
Stay with me in this place of peace, for the night and day
entwine,
where worry and care belong out there, and dwell not in this
sublime.
Remain with me as together we see, the essence of life supreme,
where a gift bought dear, yet freely given, is hope’s eternal theme.
