Believer Has Joy in Death

“Now, according to your word, Sovereign Lord, permit your servant to depart in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation

[Luke 2:29-30 NET]

When we have number’d all our years,

And stand, at length, on Jordan’s brink;

Though the flesh fail with mortal fears,

Oh! let not then the spirit sink:

But strong in faith, and hope, and love,

Plunge through the stream to rise above.
