TILL WE MEET AGAIN
When dawn’s first light
turned into day,
Who knew an angel
would call me away.
Though I never had the chance
to say goodbye,
I leave you three things
to help you get by.
I leave you Faith,
that you might see —
Your heart can rebuild
a world without me.
I leave you Courage,
so you will not fear —
Christ’s peace shall attend
and replace your tears.
And I leave you my Love,
to cherish and embrace —
Till we meet again
in His Heavenly place.
“Whenever the cold hand of death strikes,
there shines through the gloom and the darkness of that hour
the triumphant figure of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He, the Son of God
who by His matchless and eternal power overcame death.
He is the Redeemer of the world.
He gave His life for each of us.
He took it up again and became the firstfruits of them that slept.
He is our comfort, our only true comfort,
when the dark shroud of earthly night closes about us
as the spirit departs the human form.
There stands Jesus the Christ,
the King of glory,
the unblemished Messiah,
the Lord Emmanuel.”
Gordon B. Hinkley
