LyicsShed not a tear o'er your friend's early bier,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Smile if the slow-tolling bell you shall hear,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Weep not for me when you stand by my grave,
Think of the crowns all the ransomed shall have,
Think who has died His beloved to save,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Plant ye a tree which may wave over me,
When I am gone, when I am gone,
Sing ye a song when my grave ye shall see,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Come at the close of a bright summer day,
Come when the sun sheds his last lingering ray,
Come and rejoice that I thus passed away,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Plant ye a rose that may bloom o'er my bed,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Breathe not a sign for the blest early dead,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
Praise ye the Lord that I'm freed from all care,
Serve ye the Lord that my bliss ye may share,
Look up on high and believe I am there,
When I am gone, when I am gone.
