Why should we think of death

Verse 1

Why should we think of death, With sad foreboding fear; To those who love a Savior's name He, comes with words of cheer.

Chorus

Look up with tearless eye, Look up, there's joy beyond, A home where love can never die, And friend communes with friend.

Verse 2

Why should we dread the grave, If faith in Christ be bright; 'Tis but the door through which we pass To regions fair and bright.

Verse 3

Why should our hearts repine, When dear ones pass away; They are not lost, but gone before, To realms of endless day.

Verse 4

No triumphs in the grave, The sting of death is o'er; And they who reach the better land, Shall live to die no more.
