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 ceasing,

Start not at its swift decreasing,

'Tis the fetter'd souls' releasing,

Weep not for me.



When the pangs of death assail me,

Weep not for me:

Christ is mine, he cannot fail me,

Weep not for me.

Yes, though sin and death endeavor,

From his love my soul to sever,

Jesus is my strength forever!

Weep not for me.
