Death's Mocking Face

Death's mocking face
fills many with horror,
that last enemy
which seems to make
all human efforts futile.
Yet beyond the dark
finality of the grave,
ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,
shine the promises of God,
though we die,
yet shall we live!
We look not down to a grave
but up to God's Heaven!
We go from victory to victory,
even victory over our last enemy:
Death thou shalt die!
