The sorrows of death got hold of me
I was down as low as low gets
I called out one name in the dark
And I am still here to say it

Return unto thy rest, O my soul
Return unto thy rest
He has dealt bountifully with me
Return, O my soul

He kept my eyes back from the tears
And He kept my feet back from the fall
So I will walk in the land of the living
And I will not walk it small

Return unto thy rest, O my soul
Return unto thy rest
He has dealt bountifully with me
Return, O my soul

I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living
Return, O my soul
