Text:For me to die is Gain

CIV. For me to die is Gain

1 Farewell to my pain, and farewell to my Chain,
Farewell to my Loss, and welcome my Gain;

Chorus:
Mu Sins and my sorrows, farewell evermore;
My Soul and all in me, Jehovah adore,

2 The Earthquakes may quake, and the Mountains may break;
Tet never a jot of my Confidence shake. [Chorus]

3 Old Ocean may Rage,a nd fierce Tempest engage;
Yet not of them all shall my courage asswage. [Chorus]

4 The Deeps may rush up, and the Heavens may down stoop;
Yet none of the Boastings demolis my Hope. [Chorus]

5 The Trumpet shall sound, earth and hell shall rebound;
Then my Dust shall all gladly spring forth from the Ground. [Chorus]

6 The king shall descend, & the Skies he shall rend;
then I'll issue forth boldly to welcome my Friend. [Chorus]

7 The Lights of the Sky, in Darkness shall ly;
But Darkness form me shall far away fly. [Chorus]

8 the World it shall die, and expire with a sigh;
But I, as an Eage, shall tower to the Sky. [Chorus]

9 All Love to my God, this Love who bestow'd;
The Kingdom, Power, Glory , to him all are ow'd. [Chorus]

10 How amazing it is! What an Extasy this!
I'm swallow'd I'm lost in an Ocean of Bliss! [Chorus]
