When we think of earth’s tri­als and cares,
And the tears that our eye­lids be­dew,
And are told they’re in Hea­ven un­known,
It seems just too good to be true.

Refrain

But is it too good to be true?
Oh, is it too good to be true?
When we think of the won­der­ful love of our Lord,
There is no­thing too good to be true.

When we think how as sin­ners we’re lost,
And await fear­ful pun­ish­ment due,
And are told of His won­der­ful cross,
It seems just too good to be true.

Refrain

When we think of the suf­fer­ings of death,
And the grave ev­er wait­ing in view,
But are told how Christ con­quered them all,
It seems just too good to be true.

Refrain

When we think of our loved ones of yore,
How death ga­thered from me and from you,
But are told that we’ll meet them once more,
It seems just too good to be true.
