Author: John Andew Gramlich; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #548 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 When the last agony draws nigh,
My spirit sinks in bitter fear:
Courage! I conquer though I die,
For Christ with Death once wrestled here.
Thy strife, O Christ, with death's dark power
Upholds me in this fearful hour.
2 In faith I hide myself in Thee;
I shall not perish in the strife;
I share Thy war, Thy victory,
And death is swallowed up in Life.
Thy strife, O Christ, with death of yore
Hath conquered, and I fear no more. Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: WINKWORTH
