Hymnal: Christian Hymns #117 (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My life is hid in Jesus,
And death is gain to me;
Then, whensoe'er He pleases,
I meet it willingly.
2 For Christ, my Lord and Brother,
I leave this world so dim,
And gladly seek that other,
Where I shall be with Him.
3 My woes are nearly over,
Though long and dark the road;
My sin His merits cover,
And I have peace with God.
4 Lord, when my powers are failing,
My breath comes heavily,
And words are unavailing,
O hear my sighs to Thee!
5 When mind, and thought, O Saviour,
Are flickering, like a light
That to and fro doth waver,
Ere 'tis extinguished quite;
6 In that last hour, O grant me
To slumber soft and still,
No doubts to vex or haunt me,
Safe anchored on Thy will;
7 And so to Thee still cleaving
Through all death's agony,
To fall asleep believing,
And wake in heaven with Thee.
8 Amen! Thou Christ, my Saviour,
Wilt grant this unto me:
Thy Spirit lead me ever,
That I fare happily. Topics: Heavenly-Mindedness; Sickness, Death, and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDE WITH US, OUR SAVIOUR
