1. When faith presents the Savior's death
And whispers, this is thine,
Sweetly my rising hours advance,
And peacefully decline.
2. Let outward things go how they will,
On Thee I cast my care;
But let me reign with Thee in heaven,
Though most unworthy here.
3. Faith in Thy love shall sweeten death,
And smooth the rugged way;
Smile on me, dearest Lord, and then
I shall not wish to stay.
