LyicsChristian, in the hour of sickness,
When the fever'd pulse was high,
Did the "angel of his presence"
Pass before thy languid eye?
Were his arms then laid beneath thee,
Yielding pure and tranquil rest?
Was thine aching head then pillow'd
On the dear Redeemer's breast?
Christian, when the waves of Jordan,
Rolling from the further shore,
Fiercely surge and dash about thee,
And thou tremblest at their roar,
Then, oh, then, amid the darkness,
One will linger at thy side,
Yea, the "angel of his presence"
Then will bear thee o'er the tide.
