Now we must part

And as the angels come and call for you

The pains of grief tugs at my heart

Oh my darling  my darling

My heart breaks as you take your long journey

The nights so long without you my love

And when God calls for you I'm left alone

But we will meet in heaven above

That on earth we trod
G7                                   C
And when I come we will walk hand in hand

As one in heaven in the family of God

Oh my darling  my darling
C                      F              C
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
