Lord, I am delivering to you my dearest friend.
As I do, I cry.
For I will not have the honor of his company for a long time to come.
Lord, I ask that you let him lay at your feet.
For nowhere will you find a more pure and true companion.
Lead him gently into your house and when it is my turn to join you,
Send him for me.
I will follow him.
For nowhere will you find a more pure and true companion to lead me home.
