I'm now old and feeble My work on earth is done I'll be gone to be with Jesus At the setting of the sun.   Don't weep for me, my children For I am now at rest My faith will no longer Be put to test.   Through the years I lived for Jesus There were trials on every hand But now I live with Jesus And sing in his angel band.   Up there will be no heartaches Nor any sad good-byes I will be gone to be with Jesus To our home beyond the skies.   So, won't you meet me up yonder? Life here is but a test And if we but pass it We can live with all the blessed.
