Scripture reference

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation. will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:38-39)

Words

1. When death shall come, and come it will,
Those left will surely grieve.
The parting, if abrupt or still,
Is sad for the bereaved.

2. Our daily lives are ever changed;
We miss the one who's gone;
Our daily walks seem dimly strange,
Like night before the dawn.

3. While we are sad to say goodbye
And sorrowful at death,
God's peace, transcending ev'ry cry,
Bestows eternal breath.

4. If one* who is departed now
Was serving Christ our King,
We know that one* will be endowed
With joys that heaven brings.

*Note: If singing with a particular person in mind, can substitute \italic he or \italic she as appropriate.
