Victim To The Tomb
It was in the time of autumn The golden leaves lay all around
That we laid our dear old father Away beneath the cold damp ground
Chorus: It seems but a short time ago That he was in his fullest bloom But death alas has laid him low
Another victim to the tomb
Many sad farewells were given Many bitter tears were shed Our sad hearts all beat with anguish As he lay on his dying bed
On a savior's summons he was readied On his journey home to go And fearless drew near the dark valleys Washed in His blood whiter than snow
