there is a part of me thats 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 the old world's cold garden gates, i wlill 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 tremblings His peace is lingering even now
o grave the battles fought your victory has been lost
to Christ who gave it all to take me now
o grae the battles fought your victory has been lost to Christ who gave it all
to take me home
