Preparation for Death

Verse 1

Prepare me, gracious God, To stand before thy face; Thy Spirit must the work perform, For it is all of grace.

Verse 2

In Christ’s obedience clothe, And wash me in his blood; So shall I lift my head with joy Among the sons of God.

Verse 3

Do thou my sins subdue; Thy sovereign love make known, The spirit of my mind renew, And save me in thy Son.

Verse 4

Let me attest thy power; Let me thy goodness prove, Till my full soul can hold no more Of everlasting love.
