Death & Dying
Job 3:21, 22: Why should I seek what cannot save
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Death & Dying
Why should I seek what cannot save?
I have no joy to find a grave,
Unless, before I hence depart,
I find a Saviour in my heart:
Then would I gladly die to see
The Man who lay so low for me,
Out of His tomb secure to rise.
And follow Jesus to the skies.
