"On Angels wings, I am Glory bound to Heavens gates where peace is found

No more pain; no sorrow, no fear as I am with God in his city so dear

So cry not for me, as I have gone Home

To be with the Master; I am His own

On Angels wings I am glory bound

To Heavens gates; where peace "I have found'".
