Over hill and under tree
Through lands where (2)__________ light has shone

Over snow and winter's morn
I turn at last to (4)__________ that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all (5)________ way
But now comes the day

Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget

So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By (7)____________ streams that run down to the Sea

With your blessing, I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And (8)____________ where the (9)________ then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
I bid you all a very fond farewell
