Oh Lord, the time is growing nigh When I must breathe my last breath inside Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord  Oh Lord, my friends have gathered 'round They're watching me slowly, slowly sinking down Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord  Now Lord, now Lord, now Jesus time have come When I'm a leave my earthly home Friends standing around, tear in the eyes  They know that I am about to die But I'm not worried, I'm not afraid I know you do, Jesus, just what You say  [Incomprehensible] You be with me Lord, day and night I'm not afraid, I said I'm dying, don't leave me now  Oh Lord, I know you'll stand by me When I'm in trouble, when I'm in misery And Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord  Oh oh Lord, I know You'll stand by Your word Whenever I call You, I know You have already heard Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord  Now Lord, I said farewell, fare thee well Fare thee well to my friends down here I got loved ones waiting for me up there  Oh Lord, others are waiting for me What a reunion, I know that will be Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord
