Lyics

Jesus, the vision of thy face

Hath overpow'ring charms;

Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace,

If Christ be in my arms,

Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace,

If Christ be in my arms.

Then, while you hear my heart-strings break,

How sweet the minutes roll,

How sweet the minutes roll,

A mortal paleness on my cheek,

And glory in my soul,

And glory in my soul.
