Death may disolve my body now,
And bear my spirit home;
Why do my minutes move so slow,
Nor my salvation come?

With heav'nly weapons I have fought
The Battles of the Lord
Finished my course, and kept the Faith
And wait the sure Reward.

God has laid up in Heav'n for me
A Crown which cannot fade;
The righteous Judge at that great Day
Shall place it on my head.

Nor hath the King of Grace decreed
This prize for me alone;
But all that love, and long to see
Th' Appearance of his Son.

Jesus, the Lord, shall guard me safe
From ev'ry ill Design;
And to his heav'nly Kingdom keep
This feeble Soul of mine.

God is my everlasting Aid,
And Hell shall rage in vain;
To Him be hichest Glory paid,
And endless Praise, Amen.
