The moment comes, then strength shall fail,
When, health, and hope, and courage ?own,
I must go down into the vale
And shade of death, with thee alone.
Alone with thee! in that dread strife
Uphold me in mine agony;
And gently be this dying life
Exchanged for immortality.
Then, when the unbodied spirit lands
Where flesh and blood hath never trod,
And in the unveiled presence stands
Of thee, my Saviour and my God,—
Be mine eternal portion this,
Since thou wert always here with me,
That I may view thy face in bliss,
And be for evermore with thee.
