Death & Dying
Acts: So he departed
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Death & Dying
Pastors thus the flock should leave,
Thus we should to pastors cleave,
With their last instructions bless'd,
Love prefer to nature's rest;
Sup rejoicing with our Lord,
Welcome souls to life restored,
Banquet till the morning ray,
Antedate that endless day.
