1 Death cannot make our souls afraid
If God be with us there;
We may walk thro' its darkest shade,
And never yield to fear.
2 I could renounce my all below,
If my Creator bid;
And run, if I were call'd to go,
And die as Moses did.
3 Might I but climb to Pisgah's top,
And view the promis'd land,
My flesh itself should long to drop,
And pray for the command.
4 Clasp'd in my heav'nly Father's arms,
I would forget my breath,
And lose my life among the charms
Of so divine a death.
