The Little Treasure of Prayers / Being a Translation of the Epitome from the German Larger "Treasure of Prayers" ["Gebets-Schatz"] of the Evangelical Lutheran Church

by Anonymous

And though I die, I die to thee,

Eternal life hast thou for me,

Lord, by thy dying purchased.

4. Since thou art risen from the tomb,

I shall not therein languish;

Thy Ascent cheers me in the gloom,

Doth even death-fear vanquish;

For where thou art, there shall I be,

That I may ever live with thee:

Hence I depart rejoicing.
