When the sun of your life has gone down And the clouds in the west turn to gold Endless death will to you then have come If the light has gone out in your soul Oh, just think how in death you would feel With the light growing dim in your soul Oh, how long it will be, oh, how still If the light has gone out in your soul When you've come to the end of the way And life's story for you has been told Oh, how sad all to you will appear If the light has gone out in your soul Oh, just think how in death you would feel With the light growing dim in your soul Oh, how long it will be, oh, how still If the light has gone out in your soul When the chilly winds of death around you steal And the sweat upon your brow is damp and cold What a dread in your life you would feel If the light has gone out in your soul Oh, just think how in death you would feel With the light growing dim in your soul Oh, how long it will be, oh, how still If the light has gone out in your soul
