We are Coming, Sister Mary 
On a stormy*night in Winter, When the winds blew cold and wet, I heard some strains of music, That I never can forget; I was sleeping in the cabin, Where lived Mary, fair and young, When a light shone in the window, And a band of singers sung-Chords. We are coming, sister Mary, We are comiutr by-and-by, Be ready, sister Mary, For the time is drawing nigh. 
I tried to call my Mary, But my tongue could not obey, When the soti^ so strange had ended, And the singers flown away. As I watch'd I heard a rustling, Like the rustling of a wing, And beside my Mary's pillow Very soon I heard them sing-Chorus. 
Then again I called my Mary, But my sorrow was complete, For I found her heart of kindness Had forever ceased to beat; And now I am very lonely, From Summer round to Spring, And I oft, in midnight slumber, Think I hear the same ones sing-Chorus.
