“Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”
2 Timothy 1:10 (65.65.66.65. Moab)
O Saviour of my soul
Let me adore Thee,
When life has left its toll,
And I am empty.
It is Thy hand of love
That lifts me far above:
O blessèd Holy Dove,
Who shows me glory!
Christ hath abolished death,
O conquest glorious,
Through life of living breath,
My King victorious.
For Thou hast brought to light
Immortal life so bright,
That I may claim the sight
Of heights so wondrous!
O blessèd soul that lies
Within redemption;
Reposes and relies
In safe salvation.
O happy my estate,
Where grace does not abate;
Then enter through that gate
Of full salvation.
Then to behold Thy face
Of peace and beauty,
Forever Thee embrace,
O Lord of mercy.
Then shall I know as known
And love my Lord’s renown,
Thy majesty to crown,
O King of glory.
