2 For if in sin at last you die, To Hell you shall be cast; But if in Christ you fall asleep, Your happiness will last
3 For evermore; you shall then be With Christ and holy Men, Where you shall with the Angels sing All praise to God, Amen.
4 Blessed are they who in the Lord At last do come to die; For as all such from labour rest, So shall assuredly
5 At the great day, when Christ appears, Appear in glory bright, And in God's Kingdom shall henceforth Shine like the Morning light.
6 Then do not mourn for such who die In Christ their dearest Friend; Their gain is great, of all their grief There is a final end.
