To one long, bright, eternal day. [Refrain]

Into eternity shall blend;
And I the Lord of life shall greet,
And worship at His blessed feet;
Then may I clasp His nail-scarred hands,
Which broke for me death’s awful bands,
By His great love; how could it be?
From death to life He lifted me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [From death to life, oh, what a thought] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/From_Death_to_Life); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (470)
