Who for me vouchsafed to die,

Loves me still,—I know not why!

Unappalled by guilty fear,

Through the mortal vale I go;

My eternal Life is near;

Thee my Life, in death I know;

Bless Thy chastening, cheering rod

Die into the arms of God!

Till that welcome hour I see,

Thou before my foes dost feed;
