Weep not for little Willie,
For h. has gone to rest,
His spirits flown to Heaven,
TO mngc with the blest.
AS his days on earth were few,
Above he will be free,
From earthly sorrow, sin and guile,
An angel bright he'll be.
He'll dwell with infants gone before,
Who feel Il Saviour'S love,
And add another to the host
OF chcrubinl above.
Our Saviour died OH Calvary,
For sinners older grown.
An infant child like Willie,
lie babe come to Ills throne.
Weep not for little Willie,
For he is happy now,
With u wreath IT angel glory
Upon his baby brow.
