Who has sent thee from the sky?
In Ame­ri­ca,
By, by, lul­ly, lul­lay.
The oth­er one saw through the cur­tains’ part,
As they are known, shall they know.
Of work­ers to­day.
Of work­ers to­day.
Every one we know—
Father, mo­ther now are there,
Why don’t you ask and re­ceive?
The sum­mons for me to come home;
Th’hornèd moon to shine by night;
Into the har­bor, near to their side.
Into the har­bor, near to their side.
Families to­ge­ther meet;
All the graves their dead re­store,
There’s a home for me, in that land of light,

In the still and so­lemn night?
But it’s me, O Lord,
But it’s me, O Lord,
Bid me leave the clouds on high.
Down in Af­ri­ca.
For to pre­serve this day
And one was a smil­ing hap­py bride;
To His in­fi­nite heart of love,
All along, your aid af­ford,
All along, your aid af­ford,
Jesus makes us so.
They are rest­ing glad and free,
For all you need, be­lieve;
My sud­den de­part­ure to mourn.
All things liv­ing He doth feed,
Wait for the oth­ers, com­ing some­time,
Wait for the oth­ers, com­ing some­time,
Loud is glad­ness’ fest­ive sound;
Meet once more.
Many dear ones we loved are be­fore the throne,
