THE DOOR TO LIFE EVERMORE We live a short while on earth below, Reluctant to die for we do not know Just what death is all about, And so we view it with fear and doubt Not certain of what is around the bend We look on death as the final end To all that made us a mortal being. And yet there lies just beyond our seeing A beautiful life so full and complete That we should leave with hurrying feet To walk with God by sacred streams Amid beauty and peace beyond our dreams, For all who believe in the risen Lord Have been assured of this rewars... So death is not sad, it's a time for elation, A joyous transition, the soul's emigration Into a place where the soul's safe and free To live with God through eternity!
