<poem>
Ah! Lord, when my last end is come,
Ah! Lord when my last end is come,
bid angels bear my spirit home
bid angels bear my spirit home
to Abr'hams bosom going;
To Abraham's bosom going;
My flesh laid in the quiet tomb,
My flesh, laid in the quiet tomb,
shall sleep until the day of doom,
shall sleep until the day of doom,
nor pain nor sorrow knowing.
Nor pain nor sorrow knowing.
Then waking from that dark abode,
 
mine eyes shall see thee face to face.
Then, waking from that dark abode,
mine eyes shall see Thee face to face
In boundless joy, O Son of God,
In boundless joy, O Son of God,
my Saviour and my Throne of Grace.
My Savior and my Throne of Grace.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Lord Jesus Christ, give ear to me,
give ear to me, give ear to me,
who bring unending praise to Thee.}}
Who sing unending praise to thee.

Ah! Lord, when my last end is come,
bid angels bear my spirit home
To Abraham's bosom going;
My flesh, laid in the quiet tomb,
shall sleep until the day of doom,
Nor pain nor sorrow knowing.

Then, waking from that dark abode,
mine eyes shall see Thee face to face
In boundless joy, O Son of God,
My Savior and my Throne of Grace.
Lord Jesus Christ, give ear to me,
who bring unending praise to Thee.
