Is It True?

Author: Hodges Reed Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15992 First Line: Is it true that I must lie Lyrics: 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?
