Preparing for Death

Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Oft as the bell with solemn toll Lyrics: 1 Oft as the bell with solemn toll Speaks the departure of a soul, Let each one ask himself, am I Prepar'd, should I be call'd to die! 2 Only this frail and fleeting breath, Preserves me with the jaws of death; Soon as it fails, at once I'm gone, And plung'd into a world unknown. 3 Then leaving all I loved below, To GOD's tribunal I must go; Must hear the Judge pronounce my fate, And fix my everlasting state. 4 But could I bear to hear him say, "Depart, accursed far away; With devils in the lowest hell Thou art forever doom'd to dwell. 5 LORD JESUS! help me now to flee, And seek my hope alone in thee; Apply thy blood, thy spirit give, Subdue my sin, and in me live. 6 Then, when the solemn bell I hear, If sav'd from guilt, I need not fear, Now would the thought distressing be, Perhaps it next may toll for me. 7 Rather my spirits would rejoice, And wait impatient for thy voice; Glad when it bids me earth resign, Secure of heaven, if thou art mine.
