459 Tolling Bell

Tune: R. F. M. Mann, 1868

Words: Mary Stanley Bruce Dana

Meter: Particular Meter: 10,4,10,4,10,10,10,4

Shed not a tear o’er your friend’s early bier,
When I am gone.
Smile when the slow tolling bell you shall hear,
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.
