My life declines, my strength is gone,
Disease and pains prevail;
Death threatens to arrest me soon,
My heart and flesh doth fail.
Soon must I leave this body here,
Soon must my soul away;
O awful thought!—my soul, prepare
For that tremendous day!
Soon must I pass the solemn test,
How soon, my judge can tell!
When He with smiles shall call me blest,
Or frown me down to hell.
O how shall I prepare my heart
Eternal life to gain!
JESUS, Thy grace, Thy strength impart,
Or all I do is vain.
I cannot for one sin atone,—
I swell with pride no more;
All the best duties I have done,
I’ve reason to deplore.
JESUS, on Thee alone I lean,
Do Thou my soul prepare:
O cleanse my heart from every sin,
And fix Thy dwelling there,
Renew'd and justified by grace,
Complete I then shall stand,
Before th'Almighty Father's face,
When He my life demand.
