111b TO DIE NO MORE

HOME 1991 Denson Revision to the Cooper book version of this tune
See LYRICS

Why should we start, and fear to die?
What tim'rous worms we mortals are,
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.

Oh, if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul would stretch her wings in haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate,
Nor feel the terrors as she passed.

(chorus)
I'm going home to Christ above,
I'm going to the Christian's rest,
To die no more, to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more.
