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 Heaven 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, t 'will 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 thing that all men learn: There is no death --There's immortality.
