EN 5182 It Is Not Death to Die
Phil.1.21
Versi Version 1
1
It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst 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 breath 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.
