Lyics

Death cannot make our souls afraid,

If God be with us there,

We may walk thro' its darkest shade,

And never yield to fear.



I could renounce my all below,

If my Creator bid,

And run if I were call'd to go,

And die as Moses did.



Might I but climb mount Pisga's top

And view the promis'd land;

My flesh itself would long to drop,

And pray for thy command.



Clasp'd in my heav'nly Father's arms,

I would forget my breath;

And lose my life among the charms

Of such a pleasing death.
