Cântăre I Shall Not Die

1. A precious truth to us is giv’n,

From God’s own Son that came from Heav’n;

And on His word we can rely;

He that believes shall never die.

* Refrain:

I shall not die—on Jesus’ breast

I’ll fall asleep, and there I’ll rest;

Though I should sink beneath the sod,

My life is hid with Christ in God.

2. He that believes, though he were dead,

Shall rise again, as Jesus said;

His word is true, He cannot lie;

He that believes shall never die.

3. When cares and toils are all laid down,

My dust is molding in the ground,

There in the presence of His Son;

I shall not die, but I’ll live on.

4. Oh, blessed thought, some day I’ll see

The One who gave His life for me;

Though I should sink beneath the sod,

My life is hid with Christ in God.
