Death & Dying
Preparation for Death, 12
From Preparation for Death, in Several Hymns (1772) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Death & Dying
Thee, Saviour, I confess
Omnipotent in grace:
True I account Thee, Lord,
And faithful to Thy word;
Freely Thou wilt confer
Whate'er we ask in prayer,
And readier art to give
Than sinners to receive.
Ere with my lips I pray,
Thou know'st what I would say
Might I be found of Thee
In peace and purity,
And then my spirit give
With my dear Lord to live:
Safe on that happy shore,
I could desire no more.
