If I Must Die

Verse 1

If I must die, O, let me die With hope in Jesus' blood— The blood that saves from sin and guilt, And reconciles to God.

Verse 2

If I must die, O, let me die In peace with all mankind, And change these fleeting joys below For pleasures more refined.

Verse 3

If I must die—and die I must— Let some kind seraph come And bear me on his friendly wing To my celestial home.

Verse 4

Of Canaan's land, from Pisgah's top, May I but have a view, Though Jordan should o'erflow its banks, I'll boldly venture through.
