The Gates of Death

Verse 1

O thou god, who hearest prayer Every hour and everywhere, For His sake, whose blood we plead, Hear us in our hour of need; Only hide not now thy face, God of all-sufficient grace.

Verse 2

Hear and save us, gracious Lord, For our trust is in thy word; cleanse us from the stain of sin That thy peace may rule within; May each know himself thy child, Ransomed, pardoned, reconciled.

Verse 3

Leave us not, our Strength, our Trust! O remember we're by dust! Leave us not again to stray; Leave us not the tempter's prey; Fix our hearts on things above; Make us happy in thy love.

Verse 4

Amen.
