SERVICES OF TRIUMPH FOR
MRS. MATTIE DAVIS DRAYTON
Tuesday, February 26, 1980 --2:00 P. M. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH
The Rev. R. E. Donaldson, Pastor
THERE IS NO DEATH
There is a plan far greater than the plan you know; There is a landscape broader than the one you see. There is a haven where storm-tossed souls may go You call it death - We, immortality.
You call it death, this seeming endless sleep; We call it birth the soul at last set free, Tis hampered not by time or space you weep. Why weep at death? - tis immortality.
Farewell, dear voyageur - twill not be long. Your work is done now may peace rest with thee. Your kindly thoughts and deeds - they will live on, This is not death - tis immortality.
Farewell, dear voyageur - the river winds and turns; The cadence of your song wafts near to me And now you know the things that all men learn; There is no death - there's immortality.
