LyicsNo, no, it is not dying
To go unto our God,
This gloomy homeward taking,
Along the starry road.
No, no, it is not dying
Heav'n's citizen to be,
A crown immortal wearing,
And rest unbroken sharing,
From care and conflict free.
No, no, it is not dying
To wear a heav'nly crown,
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling,
Of Him whose sway we own.
O no, this is not dying;
Thou Saviour of mankind!
There, streams of love are flowing,
No hindrance ever knowing;
Here, only drops we find.
