It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. 2 Timothy 2:11.

We shall sleep, but not for ever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gave. In the bright, eternal city Death can never, never come! In His own good time He'll call us From our rest, to Home, sweet Home.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:5, 6.
