13567. Imortality

1 Jesus, I, a helpless mortal,
Ere I perish, come to Thee;
Thou of life the only portal,
Give me immortality;
Soon this world must pass away;
Naught abides except in Thee;
Give me life that lasts for aye;
Give me immortality.

2 Thou hast said Thy sheep shall never,
Never perish—cease to be;
O, I want to live forever;
Give me immortality.
Thou of hope the only door,
Thou of life the living tree,
Give me life forevermore;
Give me immortality.

3 Thou with endless life the power,
Great Melchizedek I see;
Share with me this priceless dower;
Give me immortality.
King of righteousness and peace,
Priest of God’s eternity,
Give me life that ne’er shall cease;
Give me immortality.

4 Savior dear, I yield Thee now
Glory that belongs to Thee;
Bread of life eternal Thou;
Give me immortality.
Save from death as well as sin;
Let me live, and live with Thee:
Life of ages I would I win;
Give me immortality.
