A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

"To Live is Christ - To Die is Gain"

1. "To live is Christ," the Christian cries,
While living high by faith:
"To die is gain," his heart replies,
For glory follows death.

2. "To live is Christ," believers sing -
From Him their life must come:
"To die is gain," for that shall bring
The ransom'd spirit home.

3. "To live is Christ" - a life divine,
Descending from above:
"To die is gain" - then heaven is mine,
And stores of cov'nant love.

4. "To live is Christ," when life and breath
Are spent in His employ;
"To die is gain" - then welcome death,
And everlasting joy.
