I feel the shadows now upon me And the angels beckon to me Before I go dear sisters and brothers Won't you come and sing for me Sing those hymns we sang together In that plain little church with the benches all worn How dear to my heart how precious the moments We stood shaking hands and singing a song My burden is heavy my way has grown weary I have traveled a road that is long And it would warm this old heart my dear brother If you come and sing me one song In my home beyond the dark river Your sweet faces no more I will see Until we meet where there's no more sad parting Won't you come and sing for me
