Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, when we see a saint of thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we see a saint of thine Lie gasping out his breath, With longing eyes, and looks divine, Smiling and pleas'd in death; 2 How we could e'en contend to lay Our limbs upon that bed! We ask thine envoy to convey Our spirits in his stead. 3 Out souls are rising on the wing, To venture in his place; For when grim death has lost his sting, He has an angel's face. 4 Jesus, then purge my crimes away, 'Till guilt creates my fears; 'Tis guilt gives death his fierce array, And all the arms he bears. 5 Oh! if my threatning sins were gone, And death had lost his sting, I could invite the angels on, And chide his lazy wing. 6 Away these interpoling days, And let the loves meet; The angle has a cold embrace, But kind, and soft, and sweet. 7 I'd leap at once my seventy years, I'd rush into his arms, And lose my breath, and all my cares, Amid those heavenly charms, 8 Joyful I'd lay this body down, And leave this lifeless clay, Without a sigh, without a groan, And stretch and soar away.
