| Text: | What is Death? |
1 Death is the fading of a cloud,
The breaking of a chain;
The rending of a mortal shroud
We ne'er shall see again.
2 Death is the conquerors welcome home,
The heav'nly city's door;
The entrance of the world to come,
'Tis life forevermore.
3 Death is the close of life's alarms,
The watchlight on the shore,
The clasping in immortal arms
Of lov'd ones gone before.
