BLEST ARE THE DEAD THAT DIE IN CHRIST
Don Fortner
(Tune:
When I Can Read My Title Clear #497 CM)
Blest
are the dead that die in Christ,
For
they are with Him now!
The
glories they now have in heav'n
No
mortal here can know.
Soon as
the ransomed soul is freed
From
this poor, mortal frame,
Before we know it's gone, it is
With
Christ, praising His name!
Faith
tries, but here cannot quite see
The things God has prepared
For
those He chose, redeemed and called,
Who now
in heav'n appear.
We'll
now rejoice this much to know -
They
are completely blest!
Freed
from all sorrow, pain and sin,
With
Jesus Christ they rest!
Our
friends their Savior fully see
And all
His glory share!
Let us
be foll'wers of the Lamb;
And we will join them there!
