1. When our race is run,
And life’s setting sun
Casts its shadows o’er the sky;
We shall still endure,
If our hope is sure,
When at last we say “Goodbye.”
Chorus:
When at last we say goodbye, (Goodbye.)
When at last we say goodbye; (Goodbye,)
Shall it be with sighing,
Or with hope undying,
When at last we say goodbye? (Goodbye, goodbye?)
2. Will our work be done,
And the battle won,
Will it mean a crown to die?
Or the awful fate
Of a soul too late,
When at last we say “Goodbye.”
3. Shall the dear ones left,
Of our love bereft,
Hope to greet us in the sky?
We may know today,
Jesus is the Way,
When at last we say “Goodbye.”
