Shed not a tear o'er your friend's early bier

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #305 (1854) Lyrics: 1. Shed not a tear o'er your friend's early bier, When I am gone, when I am gone: Smile when the slow tolling bell you shall hear, When I am gone, when I am gone: Weep not for me as you stand round my grave, Think who has died his beloved to save, Think of the crown all the ransomed shall wear, When I am gone, I am gone. 2. Shed not a tear as you all kneel in prayer, When I am gone, when I am gone: Sing a sweet song when my grave you shall see, When I am gone, when I am gone. Sing to the Lamb who on earth once was slain, Sing to the Lamb who in heaven doth reign, Sing till the earth shall be filled with his name, When I am gone, I am gone. 3. Plant you a rose that shall bloom o'er my grave, When I am gone, when I am gone: Sing a sweet song, such as angels may have, When I am gone, when I am gone. Praise ye the Lord that I'm freed from all care, Pray ye the Lord that my joys you shall share, Look up on high and believe that I'm there, When I am gone, I am gone.
