My pleasure and my hopes are placed beyond the blue 
     C                   F              C 
Many friends and kindred have gone on before

I hear the voice of them that's gone on before

I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago 
C                       F                    C 
He will take me through though I am weak and poor 
                                 G7      C 
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
