What more is life than empty space?
a void that we must fill
with works of good, unceasing faith
and Gospel-centered will!

What more is time than open chance?
Eternal life awaits
for those who sing, and do their dance
through straight and narrow gates!

What more is happiness than hope?
Ask in prayer; believe.
Put your trust in heavenly hosts
and through your faith, receive!

(When I soar swiftly) through the veil,

through death's immortal pass I sail.

And passing from a world of fears,

I leave behind my mortal years.

I enter into paradise:

A world withdrawn from sin and vice,

and wear the robes of righteousness,

and turn to men to teach and bless!

I take on immortality,

and enter life eternally

into my mansion well prepared

and live the dreams I never dared!

With God Almighty, now I dwell

with every soul who served Him well.

In happiness and love I live

and all my praise to Him I give!
