1 For me to live is Jesus,
For me to die is gain;
I yield to Him most gladly
And leave this world of pain.
2 In peace this life departing,
To yonder realms I soar,
That I with Christ, my brother,
May dwell forevermore.
3 My toil and cares are ended,
My troubles all must cease,
For in Thy wounds, O Jesus,
My soul has found its peace.
4 Then let me close my eyelids
And fall asleep in Thee;
Let Thy good will and counsel
Be thus fulfilled in me.
