We shall sleep, but not forever--
We shall rest beneath the trees;
We shall wake to live forever
In the land where Jesus is;
Then weep not for me
Then weep not for me
For I am going o'er death's river,
And you soon will follow me.
Yes, I feel death's chills upon me,
And my friends are all in tears,
But my Saviour still upholds me,
And has banished all my fears.
Then weep not for me
Then weep not for me
For I am going o'er death's river,
And you soon will follow me.
O the grave lies cold before me,
And we're called awhile to part,
Yet his words, "I'll never leave thee,"
Live--still live within my heart.
Then weep not for me
Then weep not for me
For I am going o'er death's river,
And you soon will follow me.
O to meet again in heaven,
What a blessing it will be!
There with all our sins forgiven,
And from death forever free.
Then weep not for me
Then weep not for me
For I am going o'er death's river,
And you soon will follow me.
