Weep Not for Me

Verse 1

Tho' o'er my lifeless form you may be bending, For now my song with angel notes is blending; I'm safe at home, when joys are never ending, Weep not for me.

Chorus

Dear friends, weep not for me, but still your sorrow, Dear friends, weep not for me, but comfort borrow; In heav'n above we'll meet again tomorrow, Weep not for me.

Verse 2

But think of me as only gone before you; From heav'nly heights I will be watching o'er you, Just by the gates I will be waiting for you, Weep not for me.

Verse 3

Tho' now with grief your heart is sad and aching, Tho' now with sobs your bosom may be shaking; Mine eyes have seen the golden morning breaking, Weep not for me.

Verse 4

Tho' now you feel a sense of desolation, For those who mourn there is a consolation; In heav'n above will come no separation, Weep not for me.

Verse 5

Tho' 'tis God's will that earthly ties should sever, We'll meet again, where parting cometh never; There, hand in hand, we'll live and love for ever, Weep not for me.
