Make me to know mine end.
Psalm 39:4.
O God, thy grace and blessing give
To us, who on thy name attend,
That we this mortal life may live
Regardful of our journey’s end.
2 Teach us to know that Jesus died,
And rose again, our souls to save;
Teach us to take him as our Guide,
Our Help from childhood to the grave.
3 Then shall not death with terror come,
But welcome as a bidden guest—
The herald of a better home,
The messenger of peace and rest.
4 And, when the awful signs appear
Of judgment, and the throne above,
Our hearts still fixed, we shall not fear,
God is our trust; and God is Love.
