If death shall be and endless sleep,
where all pressures, dreams shall cease;
One would never have a need to weep,
lying in eternal peace.
If death shall bring us to the place
where the spirit world reside;
Let's welcome then that saving grace,
with those spirits we'll abide.
In death I see no cause for fear,
when it comes as sweet relief;
Instead, I see a cause for cheer,
freed from trials and freed from grief.
Eternal peace.
