I was strolling one day in a lonely graveyard When a voice from the tomb seemed to say I once lived as you lived walked and talked as you talk But from earth I was soon called away 
Chorus Oh those tombs (oh those tombs) lonely tombs (lonely tombs) Seemed to say in a low gentle tone Oh how sweet (oh how sweet) is the rest (is the rest) In our beautiful heavenly home 
Every voice from the tomb seemed to whisper and say Living man you must soon follow me And I thought as I looked on those cold marble slabs What a dark lonely place that must be 
Then I came to the place where my mother was laid And in silence I stood by her tomb And her voice seemed to say in a low gentle tone I am safe with my Savior at home
