What is this thing that men call death
This quiet passign in the night?
’Tis not the end but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light.
O God, touch Thou my aching heart
And calm my troubled, haunting fears.
Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure,
Give strength and peace beyond my tears.
There is no death, but only change,
With recompense for vict’ry won.
The gift of Him who loved all men,
The Son of God, the Holy One.
President Gordon B. Hinckley
“What Is This Thing Man Calls Death?“, Ensign, Feb. 2010, 39
