Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me .
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free
It 's all a part of the Master 's plan A stop on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds Miss Me But Let Me Go.
