Lord save me from the organ
That plays a soulless dirge
Send me off to bugle blast
If you should feel the urge
Save me from that tuneless hymn
That sounds as dead as night
For misery has no place in here
Send me off with something bright
I thank you for life I've had
And for the wonders I have seen
For the love that I received
And all the places I have been
When I reach ST Peters gate
Lord, I pray you find me fair
So I may meet those gone before
And celebrate with them up there
