When I am gone, remember I'm with Jesus,
then do not mourn because I've passed away.
Life holds so many griefs and disappointments,
And will you cry because I did not stay?
'Tis only for a spell we must be parted;
Not many years on earth to us are given,
And when the Savior tells me you are coming,
I'll go with him to welcome you to heaven.
Grieve not because the eyes that looked upon you
shall never see your face on earth again.
Rejoice, because they look upon the Savior
Who gave his life to ransom sinful man
Weep not because I walk no longer with you
Remember, I am walking streets of gold
Weep for yourselves that you awhile may tarry
Before the blessed Lord you must behold.
