WEEP NOT FOR ME, by                    
First Line: Weep not for me, the savior said
Last Line: Once more we meet at thy dear feet.
Alternate Author Name(s): Repass, E. A.


Weep not for me, the Savior said,
As on to Cross his pathway led;
But for yourselves, and children weep,
While I pass through the shadows deep.

And so, perhaps, our sainted dead
Look wond'ringly from overhead --
From far beyond sun, moon and star --
With not a cloud their joy to mar.

Why weep for us, they whisper now?
But few our steps from you, we know;
Perhaps, for you, a few breaths more,
Till you join us on shining shore.

And, then, in land of radiant day,
A glad good morning, we shall say;
But say goodnight, good-bye no more,
Upon that bright and better shore.

Lord, give us grace upon our way,
Help us to live life's little day,
That when our journey here's complete,
Once more we meet at Thy dear feet.
