Now I must be on My way (In Spirit I will comfort you) You must be strong now, watch and pray My love My dear companion Be faithful to the very end (And I'll prepare a place for you) And I promise I will come again My love My dear companion Please don't cry (Though this may be your darkest night) Wipe the tears from your eyes (And dress yourself in virgin white) You will live to see the day I take you home My dear companion And though this parting brings you pain (You must let your heart be still) In silence I will speak your name My love My dear companion Rain will fall (My Word's a fire to keep you warm) Through it all (I'll be your shelter from the storm) You will live to see the day I take you home My dear companion Now I must be on My way (My dear companion) Now I must be on My way ...
