O Death, How Shall I Invoke Thee?


God grant that I should die to me;
Unveil to me my life in Thee!
Lord, slay the serpent of my fears
And blind me to my earthly years.


Need I wait 'till I embark
To find true life within my heart,
Or free myself from worldly schemes
And find the Object of my dreams?


Thou sayest, "Leave thyself behind,
If thou wouldst approach what's Mine."
But through Thy strengthening grace alone
No man could venture near Thy throne.
