15992. Is It True?

1 Is it true that I must lie
In the graveyard by and by,
And with others gone before
Sleep till time shall be no more?
Is it true—Oh, is it true?

2 Is it true, as many say,
Life is just a passing day,
And that Heav’n is lost or won
Ere this fleeting day has flown?
Is it true—Oh, is it true?

3 Is it true that on the cross
Jesus bled and died for us,
And, while hanging on the tree,
Upward sent a prayer for me?
Is it true—Oh, is it true?

4 Is it true that all death’s slain
Will arise and live again,
And to final judgment go,
Some for bliss and some for woe?
Is it true—Oh, is it true?
