The words are from an old hymn by H.A. César Malan. I wrote this music and melody to accompany it.

lyrics

It is Not Death to Die

It is not death to die.
To leave this weary road,
And join the saints on high,
Who’ve found their home with God

It is not death to die,
To close the eyes with tears
And wake before the Throne,
Delivered from your fears

(Chorus)
Oh Jesus conquered the grave.
Your precious blood is to save.
Those who trust in you will find
It is not death to die.

It is not death to fling, aside this earthly dust
And rise with noble wings, to live among the just
It is not death to hear, the key unlock the door
Set free from mortal fears, to praise You evermore

(Chorus)

Jesus prince of life, Your chosen cannot die.
We wait and wait in strife, we want our home on high.
