Say, Why Should Friendship Grieve

Author: Benjamin Clark Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #641 (1972) First Line: Say, why should friendship grieve for those Lyrics: 1 Say, why should friendship grieve for those Who safe arrive on Canaan's shores? Released from all their hurtful foes, They are not lost, but gone before. 2 How many painful days on earth Their fainting spirits numbered o'er! Now they enjoy a heav'nly birth; They are not lost, but gone before. 3 Dear is the spot where Christians sleep, And sweet the strain which angels pour; O why should we in anguish weep? They are not lost, but gone before. 4 On Jordan's bank whene'er we come, And hear the swelling waters roar, Jesus, convey us safely home, To friends not lost, but gone before.
