Now You’ve Gone On Ahead

Many thanks to you I say,

Be blessed on your way.

I must here express

My deep thankfulness

For your great help to me

At a time for me most key.

It seems you were sent

At just the right moment

By a Great Divine Hand:

That's clear to understand.

It seems an obvious fact,

Yes, at a time just exact,

And so, it must surely be

That the Lord cares for me,

By sending you, my dear,

When I was sunk in fear.

This made it clear to see

That the Lord does love me,

Putting at rest a grave doubt

That for long I had about

If for me He truly cared,

Bothered for how I fared.

.

And now you’ve gone on ahead

To where go those called 'dead'.

May you be blessed there!

May you most well fare!
