My soul doth pant towards Thee, My GOD, source of eternal life: Flesh fights with me; Oh end the strife, And part us, that in peace I may Unclay My wearied spirit, and take My flight to Thy eternal spring, Where, for His sake Who is my King, I may wash all my tears away, That day. Thou Conqueror of death, Glorious triumpher o'er the grave, Whose holy breath Was spent to save Lost mankind, make me to be styled Thy child, And take me when I die And go unto my dust; my soul Above the sky With saints enrol, That in Thy arms, for ever, I May lie. |
