lyrics

Lyrics:

O my soul, to heaven go
My soul, to heaven go
O rest in peace
O rest in sweet release
O my soul, to heaven go
O my soul, to heaven go

I saw my soul on a quiet lake
Afloat on a quiet lake
But O my soul
My soul to heaven could not go
And there it remained on a quiet lake
My soul adrift on a quiet lake

I prayed for the Lord my soul to take
The Lord my soul to take
He answered my prayer
And took my soul into the air
And now the Lord my soul does keep
The Lord in Heaven my soul will keep

O my soul, to heaven go
My soul, to heaven go
Now rest in peace
Now rest in sweet release
Allelu, Allelu, Alleluia
Allelu, Alleluia
