Illume my dying bed.
534. L. M. Watts.
Christ's Presence makes Death easy.
1Why should we start and fear to die!
What timorous worms we mortals are!
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
2The pains, the groans, and dying strife,
Fright our approaching souls away;
Still we shrink back again to life,
