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

Seems the light is swiftly fading

Brighter seams, they now do show

I am standing by the river

Angels wait to take me home

Kiss me, mother, kiss your darling

See the pain upon my brow

For I'll soon be with the angels

Faith has doomed my future now

Through the years, you've always loved me

And my life, you've tried to save

But now I shall slumber sweetly

In a deep and lonely grave

Kiss me, mother, kiss your darling

Lay my head upon your breast

Fold your loving arms around me

I am weary, let me rest
