When I come to die _
Be I dying a young man’s death
Or an old man’s death_
Let me die having given my life to the Lord.
When I come to die_
To take my last and final breadth
In this sweet but sorrowful earth
Let me die having given my life to the Lord.
When I come to die_
To leave this earthly tent,
And say goodbye to the life that I rent and many but few years I spent
Let me die having given my life to the Lord.
When I come to die_let me die will full confidence that
I stood the test of time and through each day
I had the better connection with my Lord
Let me die having known that I made a difference in people’s lives
I helped many to wear a smile on their face, to see the light at the end of their tunnel
And to realize that there will always be sunshine after the rain.
When I come to die_
Let me die having fought the good fight for the Lord
Let me die having conquered this adventure that I have to venture
And to heaven above let me reach there to find the gates wide-open for my soul’s rest.
When I come to die_let me die having given my life to the Lord.
