Excerpt from Hymns and Carols Set to Music Glory to God, in full anthems of joy! The being he gave us, death cannot destroy; Sad were the life we must part with to-morrow, If tears were our birthright, and death were our end! But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow, And bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend. Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, Jesus hath risen. And man shall not die.
