[Notes are sung by group first.]

Oh, if my Lord should come and meet,
My soul would stretch her wings in haste,
Fly fearless through death’s iron gate,
Nor feel the terrors as she passed.

Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on His breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there,
While on His breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.

Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on His breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there,
While on His breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.
