Lonely Tombs

I was walking one day in a lonely graveyard

When a voice from the tomb seemed to say

"I once lived as you live, walked and talked as you talk

But from earth I was soon called away"

Oh those tombs (Oh those tombs)

Lonely tombs (Lonely tombs)

Seems to say in a low gentle tone

Oh how sweet (Oh how sweet)

Is the rest (Is the rest)

In our beautiful heavenly home

I came to the spot where my mother was laid

And in silence I stood by her grave

And I thought as I gazed at the cold marble slab

What a lonely place this must be

Oh those tombs (Oh those tombs)

Lonely tombs (Lonely tombs)

Seems to say in a low gentle tone

Oh how sweet (Oh how sweet)

Is the rest (Is the rest)

In our beautiful heavenly home
