"My Saviour, come, my soul receive,
Transported from this vale to live,
And reign with Thee above;
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope, in full supreme delight,
And never-ending love."
"When from the dust of death I rise
To take my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall this be all my plea,—
'Jesus hath liv'd and died for me.'"
"Wouldst thou meet death without dismay?
Seek Christ to take its sting away."
"Art thou young, and wouldst thou live
In peace that God alone can give,
Conqu'ring every worldly lust?
Watch and pray, and seek and trust.
"Art thou old, and wouldst thou die
A servant of the Lord on high?
Wouldst thou reign among the just?
Watch and pray, and seek and trust.
"Old and young, and rich and poor,
Sinner,—Death is at the door;
All are hastening to the dust,—
Watch and pray, and seek and trust."
