‘If I must die’—oh let me die,
Trusting in Jesus’ blood;
The blood which full atonement made,
And reconciles to God.
‘If I must die’—then let me die
In peace with all mankind,
And change these fleeting joys below,
For pleasures all refined.
‘If I must die’—as die I must,
Let some kind seraph come.
And bear me on his friendly wing,
To my celestial home.
Of Canaan’s land, from Pisgah’s top,
May I but have a view;
Though Jordan should o’erflow its banks,
I’ll boldly venture through.
