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.
