Can med'cine then prolong my breath? Or virtue shield my heart? 3 Oh! no--then smooth, O Lord, the hour; On thee my hope depends: Support me with almighty pow'r, While dust to dust descend. 4 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels guard the way,) With rapture haste to thine abode, To dwell in endless day. 5 Thro' heaven, howe'er remote the bound, Thy love I'll then proclaim: And join the choir of saints that sound Their great Redeemer's name.
