THERE IS NO DEATH

  

THERE IS NO DEATH

 

Around the Year with Emmet Fox

 

June 26

 

There is no death! The stars go down 
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown 
They shine for evermore.

Time is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers 
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life—there are no dead!

—John Luckey McCreery,

 "There Is No Death"

“O death, where is thy sting?

O grave, where is thy victory? . . .

But thanks be to God,

which giveth us the victory

through our Lord Jesus Christ?

1 Corinthians 15:55, 57
