I soon shall accomplish my race,
And soar to the temple on high;
Dear Jesus, beholding thy face,
I cheerfully yield me to die.
Farewell, my distress and my woe—
The storms of existence are o^er;
Tho' fiercely the tempest may blow,
Its fury appals me no more.
More quickly and shorter 1 breathe—
The dew is overspreading my cheek—
I feel the approaches of death,
My heartstrings beginning to break;
A struggle or two and 'tis done—
From earth and its anguish I fly;
The palm of the conqueror won,
I live by submitting to die.
