Lyics

When the spark of life is waning, 

Weep not for me;

When the languid eye is streaming, 

Weep not for me;

When the feeble pulse is easing,

Start not at its swift decreasing,

'T is the fettered soul's releasing,

Weep not for me.



When the pangs of death assail me,

Weep not for me;

Christ is mine, he can not fail me,

Weep not for me;

Yes, tho' sin and doubt endeavor

From his love my soul to sever,

Jesus is my stregth forever,

Weep not for me.
