Author: Hans Adolph Brorson Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #603 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I near the grave, where'er I go,
Where'er my pathway tendeth;
If rough or pleasant here below,
My way at death's gate endeth.
I have no other choice;
Between my griefs and joys
My mortal life is ordered so:
I near the grave, where'er I go.
2 I go to heaven, where'er I go,
If Jesus' steps I follow;
The crown of life He will bestow,
When earth this frame shall swallow.
If through this tearful vale
I in that course prevail,
And walk with Jesus here below,
I go to heaven, where'er I go.
Amen. Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: JAG GÅR MOT DÖDEN, HVAR JAG GÅR
