O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 3 O God, my sins in mercy cover With merits of Thy dying Son! In Him I put my trust securely, He on the cross my pardon won. O God, when toils my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 4 Help me to set mine house in order Betimes, and ever ready be, That when Thou callest, I may answer Lord, as Thou wilt do unto me. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 5 The sorrows and the cross of Jesus Make death-beds soft, and light the grave; They comfort me in hour of parting, And give the grace I fain would have. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 6 From Jesus naught shall ever part me; In faith I touch His pierced side And hail Him Lord, my God and Saviour; Nor life nor death shall us divide. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 7 Meanwhile in God I live contented, Or die without an anxious thought. Where He doth lead, there will I follow, For I believe without a doubt, Through faith, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake, all shall be well.
