247. I wish to die in my dear Jesus

1 I wish to die in my dear Jesus, In peace and with great joy consoled, And through His wounds I shall inherit The robe of white He will unfold. In Jesus I will trust alway; In Him I live and pass away. 2 I wish to die in my dear Jesus; His grievous wounds make dying joy. All fear of perishing now ceases; His blood He did to me apply. In Jesus I will trust alway; In Him I live and pass away. 3 I wish to die in my dear Jesus; His wounded side my refuge is. By Him the heavens I inherit; My broken heart is turned to bliss. In Jesus I will trust alway; In Him I live and pass away. 4 I wish to die in my dear Jesus; He holds me though all else forsake, And with His blood He bought my freedom. To His ensign my faith I stake. In Jesus I will trust alway; In Him I live and pass away. 5 I wish to die in my dear Jesus, When light and life from me He takes, When from my lips the color fadeth, And when my heart in death does break. In Jesus I will trust alway; In Him I live and pass away.
