If I must die, oh, let me die,
With hope in Jesus’ blood—
The blood that saves from sin and guilt,
And reconciles to God.
If I must die, oh, let me die,
In peace with all mankind
And change these fleeting joys below,
For pleasures more refined.
If I must die—and die I shall—
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.
---Alternative verses---
If I must die—and die I must—
Let some kind seraph come;
And bear me on his friendly wing,
To my celestial home.
