|
There is a part of me |
|
That's only visiting |
|
Torn from eternity |
|
A stranger here |
|
The awkward mingling of |
|
The loveless and beloved |
|
So far from things above |
|
While I am here |
|
So when the last notes of my soul's summer symphony |
|
Go stealing through this old world's cold garden gates |
|
I will hold no fear as |
|
You close my book of hours |
|
And the hands of heaven carry me |
|
Carry me home to stay |
|
O Death where is your sting |
|
Your tears and your tremblings |
|
His peace is lingering |
|
Even now O |
|
Grave the battle's fought (no graver battles fought) |
|
Your vict'ry has been lost |
|
To Christ who gave it all |
|
To take me now (Love, love, love, love) |
