When death appears before my sight,
In all his dire array,
Unequal to the dreadful light,
My courage dies away.
But see my glorious leader nigh!
My Lord, my Saviour lives:
Before him death’s pale terrors fly,
And my faint heart revives.
He left his dazzling throne above,
To meet the tyrant’s dart;
And O, amazing pow’r of love!
Receiv’d it in his heart!
O for the eye of faith divine
To pierce beyond the grave!
To see that Friend, and call him mine,
Whose arm is strong to save.
Part 2
Lord I commit my soul to thee—
Accept the sacred trust ;
Receive this nobler part of me,
And watch my sleeping dust:
Till that illustrious morning come,
When all thy saints shall rise,
And, cloth’d in full, immortal bloom,
Attend thee to the skies;
When thy triumphant armies sing
The honors of thy name ;
And heaven’s eternal arches ring
With glory to the Lamb:
O let me join the raptur’d lays,
And with the blissful throng,
Resound salvation, pow’r and praise,
In everlasting song!
