Dying from Home and Lost

歌詞

Companion draw nigh, they say I must die Early the summons has come from on high The way is so dark and yet I must go Oh that's such sorrow you never may know Oh can you not bow and pray with me now Sadly regret that we never learned how To come before Him who only can save Leading in triumph through death and the grave Only a prayer, only a tear Oh if sister and mother were here Only a song would comfort and cheer Only a word from that book so dear And can you not sing a song of His love How He came down from the mansions above To bleed and to die on Calvary's tree Bringing salvation to sinners like me Alas it is so, but thus it must be No word of comfort are promised for me To die without God or hope in His Son Covered in darkness, begrieved and undone Oh people of God who have His blessed Word Will you not heed the command of your Lord? And publish to all of Adam's lost race Pardon, forgiveness, salvation through Grace Only a prayer, only a tear Oh if sister and mother were here Only a song could comfort and cheer Only a word from that book so dear
