LyicsDeath can not 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.
