Published in 2 hymnals

Representative Text

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]
