Down in the City of Troas, the seaport by the sea
Paul was on a visit, in service to be
Paul there preached the gospel, God' Word.
Some folks there no doubt had never heard
Now they were in for an all night treat
Anxious to hear love's story sweet


Carried away it seemed Paul must have been
This story he told, about his dearest friend
Along about midnight, there was a loud noise
Oh no, one was asleep, it was not all joys
For there in the window, he tumbled out
The young man, Eutychus was now dead no doubt.


While there Paul left with Carpus, his cloak, and books
He did not depend upon his good looks
You see Paul's parchment was very special.
No doubt it was his Bible, very beneficial.
He needed these after his leave
In prison no doubt again he did grieve


Now are you sunken down, sluggish saint
In deep sleep, oh do not faint.
Awake my friend, for there is still life
You must now cease from all worldly strife
Oh yes, return from that deep sleep
Be comforted there is still life and you He will keep
