There is a time, I know br When darkness shall over me flow; br A time when our hearts must part, br And my final journey start. br br Oh, would I know, the time or place br Of my final glimpse of your sweet face; br I would hold you tight before br I journey far beyond the shore. br br If I could, but know somehow br That we would be the same as now, br And together be forever more br In yonder life, beyond the shore. br br My joy would reach into my soul; br Eternal life would make me whole br For I would know as not before br That we shall meet, beyond the shore.
