Still They Go And Leave Us

Verse 1

Still they go and leave us Struggling on the road, Still the angels bear them Safely home to God; We weep, but not despairing, As thus we see them go, For the Lord’s redeem'd ones Are as white as snow.

Verse 2

When a cherish'd blossom, Blooming into life, Call'd by death’s stern bidding Quits this world of strife, Tho' sorrowful the parting, From one we lov'd so dear, Yet we feel the presence Of our Saviour near.

Verse 3

When we part from schoolmates, Whom we learn'd to love, Tho' our hearts are stricken, We may meet above, Where all the ransom'd spirits Stand near the great white throne, Dwelling in the glory With the Holy One.
