Friends, it's hymn time.
I'm gonna ask all the boys to gather around.
Here's a hymn that we've received more requests for, I reckon, than the last week or so.
Any of them we do.
We do [E] this quite often.
You folks keep asking for it.
Lonely Tomb.
[B] [E]
I was strolling one day
In a lonely graveyard
When a voice from the tomb
Seemed [B] to say
I [E] once lived as you lived
Walked and talked as you talked
But from earth I [B] was soon
Called [E] away
Oh, those tombs
Oh, those tombs Lonely tomb Lonely tomb
Seemed to say
In a low [B] gentle [B] tone
Oh, [E] how sweet
Oh, how sweet
Is the rest
Is the rest
In our beautiful [B] heavenly [E]
home
Every voice from the tomb
Seemed to whisper and say
Living man, you must soon Follow [B] me
And [E] I thought as I gazed
On those cold marble sloughs
What a sad lonely [B] place
That [E] must be
Oh, those tombs
Oh, those tombs Lonely tomb Lonely tomb
Seemed to say
In a low [B] gentle tone
Oh, how [E] sweet
Oh, how sweet
Is the rest
Is the rest
In our beautiful heavenly home
Thank you, boys.
That happens to be one of my favorites, too.
