I was strolling one day in a lonely graveyard
G7
When a voice from the tomb seemed to say
C
I once lived as you live walked and talked as you talk
G7
C
But from earth I was soon called away
G7
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
C
Oh how sweet oh how sweet
G7
C
In our beautiful heavenly home
G7
Living man you must soon follow me
C
And I thought as I gazed on that cold marble slab
G7
C
What a sad lonesome place that must be
G7
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
C
Oh how sweet oh how sweet
G7
C
In our beautiful heavenly home
G7
And her voice soft and low from the tomb
C
It said son I’m at rest with the Savior above
G7
C
I am safe in my heavenly home
G7
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
C
Oh how sweet oh how sweet
G7
C
In our beautiful heavenly home
G7
