Why should we start and fear to die?

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #441 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Why should we start and fear to die? What tim'rous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife, Fright our approaching souls away: Still we shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh if my Lord would come and meet, My soul should stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless through death’s iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she passed. 4 Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on His breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there.
