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)
