1. Life, like a mist, appears for just a day,
Then disappears tomorrow.
All that we are can quickly fade away,
Replaced with tears and sorrow.
If a man should die, ca he live again?
Hear the promise God has made:
(CHO US)
He will call; The dead will answer.
They shall live at his command.
For he wi ha e a longing
For the work of his own hand.
So have fait~
not wonder,
For our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever,
As the work f own hand.
2. Friends of our God, though they may pass away,
All those asleep who i od's mem'ry stay, From death he will awaken.
T en e"ll come to e Uthat life can be: Paradise eternally.
