Lyics

DEATH cannot make our souls afraid,

If God be with us there;

We may walk through its darkest shade,

And never yield to fear.



I could renounce my all below,

If my Redeemer bid;

And run, if I were call'd to go,

And die, as Moses did.



Might I but climb to Pisgah's top,

And view the promis'd land,

My flesh itself would long to drop,

And welcome the command.



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

I would forget my breath,

And lose my life among the charms

Of so divine a death.
