Author: Abraham H C Malan; G W Bethune Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #556 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die,–
To leave this weary road,
And, 'mid the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake, in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die!
Like thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with thee on high.
