When the battle has its end,
Of our worldly life, there’s left no trace.
Departing for eternity,
It’s the LORD Who we will face.

As we face our Creator,
May Mother Mary make our case.
For no earthly soul will be there.
The LORD alone we will then face.

We can race along this journey,
At a frenetic frenzied pace.
But this world will be to us as dust—
When at last the LORD we face.

Did we seek His will in life?
Endure trials by His grace?
Do we know that at this earthly end,
We’ll see our Good LORD’s face?

Can we see He is pursuing us?
With love are being chased,
By an Almighty being,
Who we all will one day face?

May we be ready for our final end.
May our lives on that be based.
May we pine to be at home with Him,
When at last we see His face.

May loved ones live their lives
Thinking of their earthly end.
May they henceforth live for the LORD,
Upon Him always depend.

May loved ones know His eyes of mercy,
Recognize His heart of love,
When they lift their gaze to meet Him,
May grace flow from above.

May we all meet the LORD one day in glory,
In a peaceful joy-filled place.
On that day may we be welcomed home,
By our Good LORD’s loving embrace.
