1. 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?
   
   Miss me a little - but not too long,
   And not with your head bowed low.
   Remember the love that we once shared;
   Miss me - but let me go.
   
   For this is a journey that we all must take,
   And each must go alone.
   It's all part of the Master's plan,
   A step on the road to home.
   
   When you are lonely and sick of heart,
   Go to the friends we know;
   And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
   Miss me - but let me go.
