Representative Text

1 A voice from lands across the sea,
Is calling me from home and thee;
Tho’ parting fills my heart with woe,
Where Jesus sends me I must go.

Refrain:
O will you miss me when I’m gone?
In sorrow, weeping and alone?
At noon, at night, at early dawn,
O will you miss me when I’m gone?

2 My weary heart will often turn
To where the glowing home-lights burn,
And weeping long for you, dear one,
O will you miss me when I’m gone? [Refrain]

3 When in far distant lands I roam,
At God’s command from friends and home,
Let this sweet thought a solace be:
Dear loved ones miss and pray for me. [Refrain]

4 If in this world we meet no more,
Some day on yonder shining shore,
Where comes no parting, grief or pain,
Dear friends, we all shall meet again. [Refrain]
