Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #32 (1898) First Line: Tho' o'er my lifeless form you may be bending Refrain First Line: Dear friends, weep not for me, but still your sorrow Lyrics: Weep not for me, weep not for mme, for me.
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.
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
