I Am Weary Let Me Rest

Kiss me mother kiss your darling

Lay my head upon your breast

Fold your loving arms around me

I am weary let me rest



Through the years you've always loved me

And my life you've tried to save

But now I will slumber sweetly

In a cold and lonely grave



Now the light is swiftly fading

Brighter scenes they now do show

I am standing by the river

Angels wait to take me home
