Dear Companion

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 ...
