verse 1    in peace and joy i now depart at gods

          disposing for full of comfort is my heart

          so the lord hath promised me and death is

                      but a slumber  



verse 2   tis christ that wrought this work for me

          my faithful savior who thou hast made me

          mine eyes to see by thy favor so the lord

          now i know he is my life my help in need

                         and dying

          

verse 3   him thou hast unto all the set forth their

          great salvation and to his kingdom called

          the earth by thy dear and wholesale word

               in every place resounding



verse 4   he is the hope and saving light of lands

          benighted by him are they who dwelt in

          night fed and lighted he is israel's praise

          and bliss their joy reward and glory .
