Prepare us.

Prepare me,
  Prepare me, Lord,
Prepare me,
  When death shall shake this frame.

1. As I go down the stream of time,
     When death shall shake this frame,
   I'll leave this sinful world behind,
     When death shall shake this frame.
       Cho.—Prepare me, &c.

2. The man that loves to serve the Lord,
     When death shall shake this frame;
   He will receive his just reward,
     When death shall shake this frame.
       Cho.—Prepare me, &c.

3. Am I a soldier of the cross,
     When death shall shake this frame;
   Or must I count this soul as lost,
     When death shall shake this frame.
       Cho.—Prepare me, &c.

4. My soul is bound for that bright land,
     When death shall shake this frame;
   And there I'll meet that happy band,
     When death shall shake this frame.
       Cho.—Prepare me, &c.
