"ON THE OTHER SHORE"

Poor pilgrims are we on earth
Journeying through the life unknown
Or who shall live forever?
Who shall deliver his soul from the hands of the grave?

The dreadful moment shall come
When in death we shall sweetly slumber
When glory shall cease to shine
When souls shall softly surrender
To the dictates of the divine
Our earthly labour shall be in vain
The pathway of duty shall be closed
Plans for tomorrow shall be void
And we shall breathe the last


Then, We shall be free of earthly labour
We shall be relief of drastic turmoil
We shall remember not the days of distress
we shall gather in the home beyond the skies
we shall dwell with the immortals

Justice and judgement shall rule
Action and thought shall be judged
The reality of life shall be unveiled
The habitation of man shall be unfold
Abode of eternity shall be made known
Destiny shall be determined
We shall know our fate on the other shore.
