In the Book of Life, on its pages fair, Do the angels see that my name is there? In the Book of Life, on its pages fair, Do the angels see that my name is there?

I’d give up all that I hope below, All that time can give or the world bestow, If when the Lord in His kingdom come, He will know me then and will take me home.

In the Book of Life, on its pages fair, Do the angels see that my name is there? In the Book of Life, on its pages fair, Do the angels see that my name is there?
