And why this fear to die? Death's but a guide that leads my way, To a superior sky. 5 Dear Sov'reign, break these vital strings, That bind me to my clay; Help me to rise and stretch my wings, And mount and soar away.

To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms to see his face Thro' the full beamings of his grace! 4 Yet with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight; For, while thy service I pursue, I find my heav'n begun below.

And am I only born to die?

Meter: Irregular Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity? 2 How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve, And props the house of clay; My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day! 3 No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone; If now the Judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before Th'inexorable throne! 4 No matter which my thoughts employ; A moment’s misery, or joy; But oh! when both shall end, Where shall I find my destin'd place? Shall I my everlasting days With fiends or angels spend? 5 Nothing is worth a thought beneath But how I may escape the death That never, never dies! How make mine own election sure; And when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be thou my guide, be thou my way To glorious happiness! Ah! write the pardon on my heart! And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace.

[7 How I rejoice, when on my head Thy Spirit condescends to rest! 'Tis a divine anointing shed, Like oil of gladness at a feast. 8 Surely the mercies of the Lord Attend his houshold all their days; There will I dwell to hear his word, To seek his face, and sing his praise.] Scripture: Psalm 23
