LyicsNo, no, it is not dying
To go unto our God,
This gloomy earth forsaking,
Our journey homeward taking
Along the starry road.
No, no, it is not dying
Heaven's citizen to be,
A crown immortal wearing,
And rest unbroken sharing,
From care and conflict free.
No, no, it is not dying
The Shepherd's voice to know;
His sheep he ever leadeth,
His peaceful flock he feedeth,
Where living pastures grow.
No, no, it is not dying
To wear a heavenly crown,
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling,
Of him whose sway we own.
O no, this is not dying,
Thou Savior of mankind;
There, streams of love are flowing,
No hindrance ever knowing;
Here, only drops we find.
