There is a part of me That's only visiting Torn from eternity A stranger here The awkward mingling of The loveless and beloved So far from things above While I am here Chorus So when the last notes of my Soul's summer symphony Go stealing through this old world's Cold garden gates I will hold no fear As You close my book of hours And the hands of heaven carry me Carry me home to stay O Death where is your sting Your tears and tremblings His peace is lingering Even now O Grave the battle's fought Your vict'ry has been lost To Christ who gave it all To take me now O Grave the battle's fought Your vict'ry has been lost To Christ who gave it all To take me home
