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
