Take me away...

Take me away to a faraway land,
A land of joy and rest.
Away from strive, sorrow and strain,
Void of anger and grief.

Take me away to a faraway land,
Far from distress and stress,
Let me lie down on soft green pasture,
Beside the stream that sooths.

Take me away and do it now,
Before I no longer can hold,
Let my soul heal and let me rejoice,
Even a hundredfold.
