There is a part of me That's only visiting Torn from eternity A stranger here
The awkward mingling of The loveless and beloved So far from things above While I am here
So when the last notes of my soul's summer symphony Go stealing through this old world's cold garden gates I will hold no fear as You close my book of hours And the hands of heaven carry me Carry me home to stay
O Death where is your sting Your tears and your tremblings His peace is lingering Even now
O Grave the battle's fought (no graver battles fought) Your vict'ry has been lost To Christ who gave it all To take me now
(Love, love, love, love)
