One moment on earth, the next in heaven,
O what a change it must be!
To close one’s eyes in this troubled world,
In heaven, the Savior to see.

One moment on earth, the next in heaven,
All pain and discomfort are past;
No sorrow for sin, no battles to win,
True vict’ry has now come at last.

One moment on earth, the next in heaven,
Love’s family tie is no more;
Our loved one has gone, but we must go on
’Til we meet on that beautiful shore.

“Lord, help us each day as we go our way
’Til the time when our moment will come;
Then our work will be done, our race will be won—
And we’ll enter our heavenly home.”

– Annetta Jansen

“When I in righteousness at last
Thy glorious face shall see,
When all the weary night is past,
And I awake with Thee
To view the glories that abide,
Then, then I shall be satisfied.”
– Psalter 31 & 32, based on Psalm 17
