Fare Thee Well
Don't you mourn, and don't you cry. Fare Thee WELL. It was my time to die. I looked over Jordan, and what did I see? "THE ANGEL OF DEATH" coming after me. My body grew tired of the many days of pain. I heard the voice of God call my name.
To those who love me, Celebrate! As I enter Heaven 's Gate.
You see heaven could no longer wait. I now sore like an eagle in the sky. Therefore you must not cry.
FARE THEE WELL, it was my time to die. As the dark days swiftly pass, Remember I am home at last. My face you can no longer see. In your hearts I'll always be. Dream of me in the clouds,
for I have cast off my burial shroud. Life has shut the door.
My presence on earth will be no more. Chariots ofgold paused;
as I waved farewell to one and all. My father shared me for eighty one years. So lift up your heads, wipe away those tears. "No more labor for me, nothing but rest.
I fought a good fight, and I tried to do my best.
Lift your heads and cease to frown .
I've planted my feet on heaven's ground.
Hush don't you cry, "FARE THEE WELL. "
It was my time to die.
