Lyrics

A voice from lands across the sea,
Is call­ing me from home and thee;
Tho’ part­ing fills my heart with woe,
Where Je­sus sends me I must go.

Refrain

O will you miss me when I’m gone?
In sor­row, weep­ing and alone?
At noon, at night, at ear­ly dawn,
O will you miss me when I’m gone?

My wea­ry heart will oft­en turn
To where the glow­ing home-lights burn,
And weep­ing long for you, dear one,
O will you miss me when I’m gone?

Refrain

When in far dist­ant lands I roam,
At God’s com­mand from friends and home,
Let this sweet thought a sol­ace be:
Dear loved ones miss and pray for me.

Refrain

If in this world we meet no more,
Some day on yon­der shin­ing shore,
Where comes no part­ing, grief or pain,
Dear friends, we all shall meet again.
