Author: Paul Eber, 1511-69; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #608 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds;
There pardon for my sin abounds.
Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress.
In these before my God I'll stand
When I shall reach the heav'nly land.
2 In peace and joy I now depart;
God's child I am with all my heart.
I thank you, death, for leading me
To that true life, where I would be.
So cleansed by Christ, I fear not death.
Lord Jesus, strengthen now my faith. Topics: Death and Burial; Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER IM HIMMELREICH, DER DU
