Philippians 1:21: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
To all, who hallowing grace obtain,
To live is Christ, to die is gain;
And when I reach the prize,
And when the perfect day I see,
The life I live is Christ in me,
And death is paradise.
