Death & Dying
Preparation for Death, 62
From Preparation for Death, in Several Hymns (1772) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Death & Dying
Author of my desires
After the things above,
To Thee my struggling soul aspires,
And languishes for love:
Essence of love Thou art
On dear-bought worms bestow'd,
O could I find Thee in my heart,
And then return to God!
