I Do ffot Go /ilope
IfDEATH should beckon me -with an outstretched hand
And whisper softly ofan "UNKNOWN LAND"
I shall not be afraid to go,
For though the path I do not know
I take DEA THS HAND without a fear,
For He who safely brought be here
Will also take me safely back.
And though in many things I lack
v
He will not let me go alone,
Into the valley "THATS UNKNOWN"...
So J reach out andtake DEATHS HAND
Andjourney to the "PROMISED LAND"!
