Author: Fannie Crosby Hymnal: Joyful Songs #26 (1875) Hymnal Title: Joyful Songs First Line: Why should we think of death Lyrics: 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.
Refrain:
Look up with tearless eye,
Look up, there's joy beyond,
A home where love can never die,
And friend communes with friend.
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. [Refrain]
3 Why should our hearts repine,
When dear ones pass away;
They are not lost, but gone before,
To realms of endless day. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: [Why should we think of death]
Look up with tearless eye
