Life Without End-At Last!
(John 3:16)
1. Can you see, with your mind's eye, people dwelling together? 2. Man and beast, living in peace, Cause no harm to each other. 3. In those days old will grow young, Flesh revived as in childhood. 4. Paradise all will enjoy. As they sing of God's glory.
Sorrow has passed. Peace at last! Life with - out tears and pain.
Food will be there. All will share In what our God provides.
Troubles are gone, from now on No need to weep or fear.
Yes, every day we will say
To God our Maker, "Thanks!"
Chorus
Sing out with joy ofheart. You, too, can have a part. Live for the day when you'll say: (ILife with-out end, at last!"
