Gone To the Great Banqueting Hall

In memory of a great lady who died of cancer! She's gone to that great Banqueting Hall, To her Mansion in the sky: To sit with Jesus the King of kings and all the hosts on high. The pain and agony all have gone; Peace has settled in! She's looking down on all of you with a happy, contented grin. She suffered much in those last days, Oh, what a time she had. Knowing you were all at hand kept her from going mad. She's happy now in that great place, a place that's very rare: She hopes some day to meet you soon, on the golden stairs. "Be happy now, my dear friends, Be happy, be at peace: I've experienced something quite unique; It has brought me sweet release."
