Who Knows How Near My End May Be? (EN 809)

EN 809 Who Knows How Near My End May Be?

Ps.31.15

Versi Version 1

1

Who knows how near my end may be?

Time speeds away, and death comes on;

How swiftly, ah! how suddenly,

May death be here, and life be gone!

My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray

Thy peace may bless my dying day.

2

The world that smiled when morn was come

May change for me ere close of eve;

So long as earth is still my home

In peril of my death I live;

My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray

Thy peace may bless my dying day.

3

Teach me to ponder oft my end,

And ere the hour of death appears,

To cast my soul on Christ her Friend,

Nor spare repentant cries and tears;

My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray

Thy peace may bless my dying day.

4

And let me now so order all,

That ever ready I may be,

To say with joy, whate’er befall,

Lord, do Thou as Thou wilt with me:

My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray

Thy peace may bless my dying day.

5

O Father, cover all my sins

With Jesus’ merits, who alone

The pardon that I covet wins,

And makes His long sought rest our own;

My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray

Thy peace may bless my dying day.

6

Then death may come or tarry yet,

I know in Christ I perish not;

He never will His own forget,

He gives me robes without a spot:

My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray

Thy peace may bless my dying day.

7

And thus I live in God at peace,

And die without a thought or fear,

Content to take what God decrees,

For through His Son my faith is clear;

His grace shall be in death my stay,

And peace shall bless my dying day.
