I Shall Lay Me Down in Peace

When this busy life is ended, When these mortal cares shall cease

1 When this busy life is ended,
When these mortal cares shall cease;
When my life with Christ is blended,
I shall lay me down in peace.

Refrain:
I shall lay me down in peace,
I shall lay me down in peace;
When this busy life is ended,
I shall lay me down in peace!

2 When the shades of death are falling,
When I'm viewing my release;
When my Lord for me is calling,
I shall lay me down in peace. [Refrain]

3 When I leave this earth for heaven,
There my joys will soon increase;
When my life from earth is riven,
I shall lay me down in peace. [Refrain]
