    (continued from previous page)
    Well He sees my happy face
    From that bright and happy place
    2.
    I'll be holy, brave and true
    Lord that I may live with you
    In your Home, so fair and bright
    Mid the Angel's clad in light.
    Never till the day I die
    Will I dare to tell a lie
    Never wear a wicked frown
    I will keep my anger down
    I'll remember patiently all the pains you bore for me
    May my thoughts be pure and sweet,
    Make me kind to all I meet
    And when you wish your child to come,
    Dearest Jesus, take me home.
