A precious truth to us is giv’n,
From God’s own Son that came from Heav’n,
And on His word we can rely:
‘He that believes shall never die.’
Refrain:
I shall not die-on Jesus’ breast
I’ll fall asleep, and there I’ll rest;
Though I should sink beneath the sod,
My life is hid with Christ in God.
He that believes, though he were dead,
Shall rise again, as Jesus said;
His word is true, He cannot lie:
‘He that believes shall never die.’
When cares and toils are all laid down,
My dust is molding in the ground,
There in the presence of His Son,
I shall not die, but I’ll live on.
Oh, blessed thought, someday I’ll see
The One who gave His life for me;
Though I should sink beneath the sod,
My life is hid with Christ in God.
