Oh the time will come, and it won't be long When I leave this world, for the land of song Then to shout and sing while the ages roll And be sheltered there from the heat and cold In a lone graveyard, I'll soon be laid It'll not be long 'til my grave is made But in that sweet home, where my loved ones wait Is a place for me, when I reach that gate I will labor on, 'til the sun goes down For awaiting me is a robe and crown And a place there'll be, with the angel band Where I'll take my seat at the Lord's right hand In a lone graveyard, I'll soon be laid It'll not be long 'til my grave is made But in that sweet home, where my loved ones wait Is a place for me, when I reach that gate It will not be long 'til the close of day Soon my life will end, then I'll pass away But I'll serve the Lord, and I'll do my best 'Til He calls me home, to my place of rest In a lone graveyard, I'll soon be laid It'll not be long 'til my grave is made But in that sweet home, where my loved ones wait Is a place for me, when I reach that gate In a lone graveyard, I'll soon be laid It'll not be long 'til my grave is made But in that sweet home, where my loved ones wait Is a place for me, when I reach that gate
