Author: Benjamin Clark Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #641 (1972) First Line: Say, why should friendship grieve for those Lyrics: 1 Say, why should friendship grieve for those
Who safe arrive on Canaan's shores?
Released from all their hurtful foes,
They are not lost, but gone before.
2 How many painful days on earth
Their fainting spirits numbered o'er!
Now they enjoy a heav'nly birth;
They are not lost, but gone before.
3 Dear is the spot where Christians sleep,
And sweet the strain which angels pour;
O why should we in anguish weep?
They are not lost, but gone before.
4 On Jordan's bank whene'er we come,
And hear the swelling waters roar,
Jesus, convey us safely home,
To friends not lost, but gone before. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Seasons, Days, Services Funeral Condolence, Consolation Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:10 Languages: English Tune Title: GONE BEFORE
