When I am gone, Oh Lord!
Let the sun be as bright
And the moon spread its light
Let the flowers bloom as now
And the birds sing of love
When I am gone, Oh Lord!
Let the rambling river run
And the trees meet as one
In the sweet smelling wind
Above the city’s din
When I am gone, Oh Lord!
Let my soul remain
In this Earth serene
Let it wander unknown
Among the ways so known
