There’s a little grave on the green hillside that lies to the morning sun
        A                   D                     E                    A
And the way worn feet often wander there when the cares of the day are done
   D                    A                                   E
We sometimes sit in the twilight fall and talk of a far off land
       A                     D                  E                   A
And we sometimes feel in the twilight there the touch of a vanished hand

And this land is full of these little graves in the valleys plains and hills
           A                  D               E                A
There’s an angel too for each little grave an angel procession fills
  D                  A                                             E
I know not how but I sometimes think that they lead us with gentle hand
      A                  D                    E                  A
And a whisper falls on a willing ear from the shore of a far off land

And these little graves are but wayside marks that point to a far off land
         A                      D               E                  A
And they speak to the soul of a better day of a day that’s near at hand
          D                           A                                       E
Though we first must walk through the chartless fields yet Christ will be our guide
        A                    D                      E                    A
