At My Journey's Close

The shade of death lies
Upon your face, beloved,
But the Jesus of grace
Has Нis hand round about you;
In nearness to the Trinity
Farewell to your pains,
Christ stands before you
And peace is in His mind.

As thou wast before
At my life’s beginning,
Be thou so again
At my journey’s end.
As thou wast beside
At my soul’s shaping,
Father, be thou too
At my journey’s close.

As thou wast before
At my life’s beginning,
Be thou so again
At my journey’s end.
As thou wast beside
At my soul’s shaping,
Father, be thou too
At my journey’s close.
At my journey’s close.

O God, give me of Your holiness,
O God, give me of Your shielding,
O God, give me of Your surrounding,
And of Your peace in the knot of my death.
O give me of Your surrounding,
O give me of Your surrounding
And of Your peace
At the hour of my death.

As thou wast before
At my life’s beginning,
Be thou so again
At my journey’s end.
As thou wast beside
At my soul’s shaping,
Father, be thou too
At my journey’s close.

As thou wast before
At my life’s beginning,
Be thou so again
At my journey’s end.
As thou wast beside
At my soul’s shaping,
Father, be thou too
At my journey’s close.
At my journey’s close.
At my journey’s close.
At my journey’s close.
