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."
