LyicsMine eyes are now closing to rest,
My body must soon be removed,
And mould'ring lie buried in dust,
No more to be envied or loved,
No more to be envied or loved.
Ah! What is this drawing my breath,
And stealing my senses away!
Oh! Tell me, Oh! Tell me, my soul, is it death,
Releasing me kindly from clay?
Now, mounting, my soul shall descry,
The regions of pleasure and love;
My spirit triumphant shall fly,
And dwell with my Saviour above!
