35. DEAR FRIENDS ON EARTH
AMIGOS, CON PLACER
1 Thess 4.17 SLEEP / 1 Thess 4.16 HOPE
Dear friends on earth we meet in glad_ness,
While moments swiftly fly;
Yet ever comes the time of sadness,
That we must say, "Goodbye."
CHORUS
There is no place for "goodbye" there,
· We'll never say goodbye;
For in that land of joy and song,
We'll never say goodbye.
' 2
How joyful is the hope that lingers,
When saved ones cross death's sea;
The day we meet we'll see our Savior,
Adorned in grand glory.
3
No parting words shall e'er be spoken,
In yonder home so fair;
But songs of joy, and peace, and gladness,
We'll sing forever there.

Ps 116.1 DIVINITY/ 1 P 5.7 TRUST
I love the name of God, I love Him greatly,
I love Him for He has come to save my soul;
His hand so mighty, powerful and loving,
He dries up my tears and rushes to save me.
CHORUS
The arms on which I lay, all of my worries,
They serve my troubles as great consolation;
His arms will always be all of my glory,
And so I sing these words: That Jesus Christ loves me!
