How wonderful is this promise That the Love of God Affords! Our Hope is firmly anchored In the Cross of Calvary, Where in awe, we ask the question, “O Death, where is thy sting?â€? We will embrace each other Beyond death and the grave. By the precious blood of Jesus, We are cleansed of son, and saved! And beyond our final sunset Is the dawning of the Day, Where all earth’s toils, pain, and trials Are forever passed away. All darkness shall be ended When we behold His face, And stand in the Eternal Light Of His Redeeming Grace! The grave has lost its victory! Our comfort is so sweet! The night’s sorrow shall be washed away... Our Joy in that Morning, COMPLETE! When purified by Holy Fire, And cleansed by healing tears, We’ll lay down life’s heavy burdens, And “put to restâ€? all of our fears! Connie Hollenbaugh
