1 Once in the blest baptismal waters
I put on Christ and made him mine;
now, numbered with God's sons and daughters,
I share his peace and love divine.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
your peace may bless my dying day.
2 His body and his blood I've taken
in his blest supper, feast divine;
now I shall never be forsaken
for I am his and he is mine.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
your peace may bless my dying day.
3 Though death may come today, tomorrow,
I know in Christ I perish not;
he grants the peace that stills all sorrow,
gives me a robe without a spot.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
your peace may bless my dying day.
4 And thus I live in God contented
and die without a thought of fear;
to God's good plans I have consented,
my faith is focused, firm, and clear.
By grace, in Jesus' name I say,
"Lord, you will bless my dying day!"
