After I leave for worlds unknown
Over the border line
Never again on earth to know
What will I leave behind?

Leave behind, oh, leave behind
What will I leave behind?
After I leave for worlds unknown
What will I leave behind?

Will I be missed by those I love
Or have I been unkind?
And have I been true to God above
What will I leave behind?

Leave behind, oh, leave behind
What will I leave behind?
After I leave for worlds unknown
What will I leave behind?
