Come, come with me out to the old churchyard I so well know those paths, neath the soft green sward [G]
Friends [Fm] slumber in there that we once did regard We will trace out the names in the old [F] churchyard
More not for them their trials are o'er [G] And why weep for those who will weep no more For sweet is that sleep, though cold and hard Their pillows may be in the old churchyard
I know that [Bb] it's vain when our friends depart To breathe kind words to [Eb] a broken heart And I [Gm] know that the joy of life is marred When we follow those friends [A] to the old [Bb] churchyard
But were I a friend, meek yonder tree Oh, why would you weep, my friends, for me?
I'm so weary, so I mourn Why would you retard the [Eb] peace I seek In the old churchyard?
Why weep for me, for I'm anxious to go To that haven of rest where no tears ever flow And I fear not to enter that dark, lonely tomb Where our Saviour has lain, there He [Fm] conquered the gloom
I rest in the [N] hope that one bright day Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay And old Gabriel's trumpet and the voice of the Lord Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
I rest in the hope that one bright day Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay And old Gabriel's trumpet and the voice of the Lord [Fm] Will wake up the dead [Eb] in the old [Gm] churchyard
I rest in the hope that one bright day Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay And old Gabriel's trumpet and the voice of the Lord Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
Friends [Fm] slumber in there that we once did regard We will trace out the names in the old [F] churchyard
More not for them their trials are o'er [G] And why weep for those who will weep no more For sweet is that sleep, though cold and hard Their pillows may be in the old churchyard
I know that [Bb] it's vain when our friends depart To breathe kind words to [Eb] a broken heart And I [Gm] know that the joy of life is marred When we follow those friends [A] to the old [Bb] churchyard
But were I a friend, meek yonder tree Oh, why would you weep, my friends, for me?
I'm so weary, so I mourn Why would you retard the [Eb] peace I seek In the old churchyard?
Why weep for me, for I'm anxious to go To that haven of rest where no tears ever flow And I fear not to enter that dark, lonely tomb Where our Saviour has lain, there He [Fm] conquered the gloom
I rest in the [N] hope that one bright day Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay And old Gabriel's trumpet and the voice of the Lord Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
I rest in the hope that one bright day Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay And old Gabriel's trumpet and the voice of the Lord [Fm] Will wake up the dead [Eb] in the old [Gm] churchyard
I rest in the hope that one bright day Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay And old Gabriel's trumpet and the voice of the Lord Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
