67. Will the Waters Be Chilly

1 Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive,
Prepare me, Lord, to die.
Let a repenting rebel live,
Prepare me, Lord, to die.

Refrain:
Will the waters be chilly?
Will the waters be chilly?
Will the waters be chilly?
When I am called to die.

2 Are not Thy mercies large and free?
Prepare me, Lord, to die.
May not a sinner trust in Thee?
Prepare me, Lord, to die. [Refrain]

3 My sins are great, but don't surpass,
Prepare me, Lord, to die.
The pow'r and glory of Thy grace,
Prepare me, Lord, to die. [Refrain]

4 Great God! thy nature hath no bound,
Prepare me, Lord, to die.
So let Thy pard'ning love be found,
Prepare me, Lord, to die. [Refrain]
