WE MAY NOT DIE
1. We may not die,
but rise and meet the Lord!
This blessed hope,
God shows us in His Word;
The Spirit makes it
plain to us His own -
He'll catch us from
this world, to His own throne.
2. We may not die,
but rise and meet the Lord!
Oh, the bright
glory these few words afford!
Changed instantly,
the twinkling of an eye,
And see Thee face
to face, our Lord for aye!
3. Some shall not
die, but rise and meet the Lord,
O precious promise!
faithful, true and good!
Although we do not
know the day or hour,
We know that He
Himself shall come in power.
4. We may not die,
then let us more pure be.
Cut off each sin,
unseen, or that men see,
This world is
passing, Heaven will quickly come,
Then let us day by
day, be more like Him!
5. We shall arise,
and meet Him in the air!
Then let us not
entangled be down here!
We look for Christ!
We do not look for death!
Our hope at any
hour, to leave this earth.
6. We shall arise,
and to our Lord ascend,
When His victorious
shout the air shall rend!
O come! Lord Jesus,
Come! His saints now cry,
Come quickly! so,
we e'er shall be with Thee.
