A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #LIV
1 My life's a shade, my days
Apace to death decline:
My Lord is Life; He'll raise
My dust again, even mine.
Sweet truth to me!
I shall arise
And with these eyes
My Saviour see.
2 My peaceful grave shall keep
My form till that sweet day;
I shall awake from sleep
And leave my bed of clay.
Sweet truth to me!
I shall arise,
And with these eyes
My Saviour see.
3 Then welcome, harmless grave!
By thee to heaven I'll go:
My Saviour's Death shall save
Me from the flames below.
Sweet truth to me!
I shall arise,
And with these eyes
My Saviour see.
