Shed not a tear
o’er your friend’s early bier,
When I am gone.
Smile when the slow tolling bell
you shall hear,
When I am gone.
Weep not for me
as you stand ’round my grave,
Think who has died
His beloved to save,
Think of the crown
all the ransomed shall wear,
When I am gone.
Plant you a rose that shall bloom
o’er my grave,
When I am gone.
Sing a sweet song
such as angels may have,
When I am gone.
Praise ye the Lord that
I’m freed from all care,
Pray ye the Lord that
my joys ye shall share,
Look up on high
and believe that I’m there,
When I am gone.
