Is It True?

Author: A. W. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Is it true that some sweet day Lyrics: 1 Is it true that some sweet day We shall greet our loved ones gone? True that tears are wiped away In that land of endless morn? Yes, 'tis true, I know 'tis true, There's a land all bright and fair; And a crow of glory too, In that home just over there. 2 Is it true that streets of gold Lead from gates of pearl so rare? True that half has not been told Of that home just over there? Yes 'tis true, I know 'tis true, That the streets are paved with gold:- True that of that city fair, Half has never yet been told. 3 Is it true that naught of sin Ever finds an entrance there? Is it true that once within All are free from grief and care? Yes, 'tis true, I know 'tis true, All the saints are robed in white, And the endless ages thro' Know no sin, no pain, no night. Used With Tune: [Is it true that some sweet day]
