Lay My Body Down

Lay My Body Down
My eyes they dim as the sun goeth down and I long for a brighter day
my time has nearly come to an end as I hear the trumpet play

chorus:
will you lead me to the meadow where your sheep will remain
where gentle breeze and peace can be found
and the angels will sing their last refrain
as they lay my body down

one last drink from the brook for my lips they are dry
from the wind and the cold from the earth
fill my heart with love rid my soul of pain
quinch my hunger and my thirst

chorus:
will you lead me to the meadow where your sheep will remain
where gentle breeze and peace can be found
and the angels will sing their last refrain
as they lay my body down

As I bid farewell to the one's that I love
dark shadows fall from the sun
and the tears in your heart will be tears of joy
for my journey has just begun

chorus:
will you lead me to the meadow where your sheep will remain
where gentle breeze and peace can be found
and the angels will sing their last refrain
as they lay my body down

and the angels will sing their last refrain
as they lay my body down
