Could it be "Gatering flowers for the Master's Bouquet"

first line goes like this: Death is an angel sent down from above,Sent for the buds and the flowers we love

GATHERING FLOWERS FOR THE MASTER'S BOUQUET

1. DEATH IS AN ANGEL SENT DOWN FROM ABOVE, SENT FOR THE BUDS AND THE FLOWERS WE LOVE; TRULY 'TIS SO, FOR IN HEAVEN'S OWN WAY, EACH SOUL IS A FLOW'R IN THE MASTER'S BOUQET

CHORUS:

GATHERING FLOW'RS FOR THE MASTER'S BOUQUET, BEAUTIFUL FLOW'RS THAT WILL NEVER DECAY; GATHERED BY ANGELS AND CARRIED AWAY, FOREVER TO BLOOM IN THE MASTER'S BOUQUET.

2. LOVED ONES ARE PASSING EACH DAY AND EACH HOUR, PASSING
AS THE LIFE OF A FLOW'R, BUT EV-RY BUD AND EACH BLOSSOM SOME DAY, WILL BLOOM AS A FLOW'R IN THE MASTER'S BOUQUET

REPEAT CHORUS:

3. LET US BE FAITHFUL TILL LIFE'S WORK IS DONE, BLOOMING WITH LOVE TILL THE REAPER SHALL COME, THEN WE'LL BE GATHERED TOGETHER FOR AYE, TRANSPLANTED TO BLOOM IN THE MASTER'S BOUQUET.

REPEAT CHORUS:

HOPE THIS IS THE ONE, IF NOT IT IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!
