Words

  1. 1In peace and joy I now depart At God's disposing; For full of comfort is my heart, Soft reposing. So the Lord hath promised me, And death is but a slumber.
  2. 2'Tis Christ that wrought this work for me, My faithful Savior, Whom Thou hast made mine eyes to see By Thy favor. Now I know He is my Life, My Help in need and dying.
  3. 3Him Thou hast unto all set forth Their great Salvation And to His kingdom called the earth, Every nation, By Thy dear and wholesome Word, In every place resounding.
  4. 4He is the Hope and saving Light Of lands benighted; By Him are they who dwelt in night Fed and lighted. He is Israel's Praise and Bliss, Their Joy, Reward, and Glory.
