There
is a plan for greater than
the
plan you know;
There
is a landscape broader
than
the one you see.
There
is a heaven where storm
-tossed
souls may go ~
You
call it death ~
we, immortality.
You
call it death ~ this
seeming
endless sleep;
We
call it birth ~ the
soul
at last set free.
'Tis
hampered not by time
or
space ~ you weep
Why
weep at death ~
it
is immortality.
Farewell,
dear voyageur, ~
it
will not be long,
Your
work is done ~ now
may
peace rest with thee.
Your
kindly thoughts and deeds ~
they
will live on.
This
is not death ~
it is mortality.
Farewell,
dear voyageur, ~
the
river winds and turns;
The
cadence of your song
wafts
near me,
And
now you know the thing
that
all men learn:
There
is no death ~
there
is mortality.
