When Time Seems Short and Death Is Near (EN 4691)

EN 4691 When Time Seems Short and Death Is Near

Rom.5.8

Versi Version 1

1

When time seems short, and death is near,

And I am pressed by doubt and fear,

And sins, an overflowing tide,

Assail my peace on every side,

This thought my refuge still shall be,

I know my Savior died for me.

2

His name is Jesus, and He died—

For guilty sinners crucified;

Content to die, that He might win

Their ransom from the death of sin.

No sinner worse than I can be,

Therefore I know He died for me.

3

If grace were bought, I could not buy;

If grace were coined, no wealth have I;

By grace alone I draw my breath,

Held up from everlasting death.

Yet since I know His grace is free,

I know the Savior died for me.

4

I read God’s holy Word, and find

Great truths which far transcend my mind

And little do I know beside

Of thought so high and deep and wide.

This is my best theology—

I know the Savior died for me.

5

My faith is weak, but ’tis Thy gift;

Thou canst my helpless soul uplift,

And say, “Thy bonds of death are riv’n,

Thy sins by Me are all forgiv’n,

And thou shalt live, from guilt set free;

For I, thy Savior, died for thee.”
