481. O 'tis enough! I ask no more

1 O 'tis enough! I ask no more,
Full of a few sad sinful days,
Sated with life, till life is o'er,
I languish to conclude my race,
And silently resign my breath,
And sink into the shades of death.

2 This earth without regret I leave;
Impatient for my heav'nly rest;
Saviour, my weary soul receive,
Take a sad pilgrim to thy breast,
I only live, and die, to be
Restor'd, resorb'd, and lost in thee.
