LyicsWhen the spark of life is wan-ing,
Weep not for me;
When the languid eye is stream-ing,
Weep not for me;
When the fee-ble pulse is ceas-ing,
Start not at its swift de-creas-ing,
'T is the fet-tered soul's re-leas-ing,
Weep not for me!
When the pangs of death as-sail me,
Weep not for me:
Christ is mine-he can not fail me,
Weep not for me;
Yes, tho' sin and doubt en-deav-or
From his love my soul to sev-er,
Je-sus is my strength for-ev-er,
Weep not for me!
