On what dost thou depend? Art thou a stranger still To Christ, the sinner’s Friend? Soon thou must leave thy all below, And then, O then, what wilt thou do? 4 Christians, lift up your heads; Say, what has Jesus done? His matchless grace to you The Saviour has made known; Yes, you shall all his glory see, And from the second death be free.
