Dying From Home, And Lost Lyrics - Louvin Brothers

Companion, draw nigh; they say I must die 

Early the summons has come from on high 

The way is so dark, and yet I must go; 

Oh, that such sorrow you never may know! 

Oh, can you not bow and pray with me now? 

Sad the regret we have never learned how 

To come before Him who only can save 

Leading in triumph through death and the grave! 

Only a prayer, only a tear 

Oh, if sister and mother were here! 

Only a song, would comfort and cheer, 

Only a Word from that Book, so dear

And can you not sing a song of His love, 

How He came down from the mansions above 

To bleed and to die on Calvary's tree, 

Bringing salvation to sinners like me? 

Alas! It is so, but thus it must be 

No word of comfort or promise for me 

To die without God, or hope in His Son, 

Covered in darkness, bereaved and undone 

Oh, people of God, who have his blessed Word, 

Will you not heed the command of your Lord 

And publish to all of Adam's lost race, 

Pardon, forgiveness, salvation through grace?

Only a prayer; only a tear 

Oh, if sister and mother were here! 

Only a song, could comfort and cheer, 

Only a Word from that Book, so dear.
