Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Who knows how near my end may be?
- Time speeds away, and death comes on;
- How swiftly, ah! how suddenly,
- May death be here, and life be gone!
- My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
- Thy peace may bless my dying day.
- 2.
- The world that smiled when morn was come
- May change for me ere close of eve;
- So long as earth is still my home
- In peril of my death I live;
- My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
- Thy peace may bless my dying day.
- 3.
- Teach me to ponder oft my end,
- And ere the hour of death appears,
- To cast my soul on Christ her Friend,
- Nor spare repentant cries and tears;
- My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
- Thy peace may bless my dying day.
- 4.
- And let me now so order all,
- That ever ready I may be,
- To say with joy, whate’er befall,
- Lord, do Thou as Thou wilt with me:
- My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
- Thy peace may bless my dying day.
- 5.
- O Father, cover all my sins
- With Jesus’ merits, who alone
- The pardon that I covet wins,
- And makes His long sought rest our own;
- My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
- Thy peace may bless my dying day.
- 6.
- Then death may come or tarry yet,
- I know in Christ I perish not;
- He never will His own forget,
- He gives me robes without a spot:
- My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
- Thy peace may bless my dying day.
- 7.
- And thus I live in God at peace,
- And die without a thought or fear,
- Content to take what God decrees,
- For through His Son my faith is clear;
- His grace shall be in death my stay,
- And peace shall bless my dying day.
