That lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
Banners choke the sky
And men-at-arms tread
Armoured horses neigh
Where the great banner has been
In the narrow pass
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
I once had sweet Jack for a lover
But like a road they cross over
My body makes no moan
It sings on and on
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Ruinous, uninhabited
Suddenly lit up from within
From the door to the top
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
Oh, that lover of a night
Came when he would
Went with the dawning light
Whether I would or no
Men come, and they go
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
