Lyrics
Verse 1: When death shall come, and come it will, Those left will surely grieve. The parting, if abrupt or still, Is sad for the bereaved.
Verse 2: Our daily lives are ever changed; We miss the one who’s gone; Our daily walks seem dimly strange, Like night before the dawn.
Verse 3: While we are sad to say goodbye And sorrowful at death, God’s peace, transcending ev’ry cry, Bestows eternal breath.
Verse 4: If one who is departed now Was serving Christ our King, We know that one will be endowed With joys that heaven brings.
