Earth's Loss, Heaven's Gain by the Singing Cookes

Does anyone know the lyrics to the song, "Earth's Loss, Heaven's Gain by the Singing Cookes". It was sung at my mother's funeral in 2004 and I would like to have a copy of the words.

Earth's Loss was Heaven's Gain

Register here the sign reads in the parlor
two songs were her request for me to sing
I stopped and told the family how loved her
and I was sorry the death angel came
All the flowers that were sent
she didn't see them
the sermon was preached after I sang
all the friends that dropped by
it didn't matter
what earth lost yesterday heaven gained

Look what's happing in heaven
a cheer went up as she walked through the gate
and the change in her oh what a difference
why she's as young and as beautiful as a babe
and guess who's got His arms around her
He just wiped the last tear from her eyes
He said child welcome home forever
come and rest by the river of life

She never had earths' treasures
she didn't want them
just to provide for her family nothing more
she often talked about her home in heaven
she'd been so longing for
she said when I leave this world don't be crying
for me it will be a stepping stone
and when I close my eyes to sleep for the last time
I'll be out of this world I'll be home
