Lyrics
You’ve left me to travel other lands
I miss you, dear, each day
Safe may you be, in the Master’s hands
Angels guide your way
You’ve won your place near the
Great White Throne
When angels round you play
Patiently hoping, I wait alone
‘Till I can come some day, for
Somewhere in the Great Beyond
I know you wait for me
Out there, where all joys are found
We’ll spend eternity
Naught will we know of sorrow
Mid angel bands so fair
Love for an endless morrow
There in the Great Somewhere
You went by the path the bravest chose
You bought your wreath of fame
Your soul came back, a bright red rose
Sweet to me as your name
You left me a hope for my daily pray’r
A comfort all sublime
Dear heart, I’ll join you in realms so fair
When God shall will the time, for
Somewhere in the Great Beyond
I know you wait for me
Out there, where all joys are found
We’ll spend eternity
Naught will we know of sorrow
Mid angel bands so fair
Love for an endless morrow
There in the Great Somewhere
