WHEN I AM GONE.

OHeu uut to"a 81 your iIlehu curly oiel,
When | am gone-when l am gone!
Smile when the slow tolling bell you shall
hear,
When am gone-I am gone!
Weep not for me when you stand round my
grave;
Think who has died His beloved to save
Think OF the crown that the ransomed shall
have,
When am gone-I am gone!
Plant we rose that shall bloom over me,
When am gone-when am gone!
Sing We song when my grave we shallsee!
When am gone-I am gone.
Come al the close Of bright summers day,
Come when the sun sheds its last ling ring
ray
Como and rejoice that thus pass'd away,
When am gone--I am gone!
Plant you tree that shall bloom Ger my
bed,
When l am gone-when / am gone!
Breathe not sigh for the blest, early dead.
When am gone-I am gone
Praise ye the Lord that I'm freed from all
Serve ye the Lord that my bliss ye may
share,
Look up on high and believe am there.
When l am gone--I am gone.
