My Work Is Done
Lessie Smith
- 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.
