1. Mine eyes are now closing to rest,  
1. Mine eyes are now closing to rest,
My body must soon be removed;  
My body must soon be removed;
And moldering, lie buried in dust,  
And moldering, lie buried in dust,
No more to be envied or loved,  
No more to be envied or loved,


Ah! what is this drawing my breath,  
Ah! what is this drawing my breath,
And stealing my senses away?
And stealing my senses away?
O! tell me, my soul, is it death?  
O! tell me, my soul, is it death?
Releasing me kindly from clay.
Releasing me kindly from clay.


Now, mounting, my soul shall descry
Now, mounting, my soul shall descry
The regions of pleasure and love,  
The regions of pleasure and love,
My spirit triumphant shall fly  
My spirit triumphant shall fly
And dwell with my Savior above.}}
And dwell with my Savior above.}}

1. Mine eyes are now closing to rest,
My body must soon be removed;
And moldering, lie buried in dust,
No more to be envied or loved,

Ah! what is this drawing my breath,
And stealing my senses away?
O! tell me, my soul, is it death?
Releasing me kindly from clay.

Now, mounting, my soul shall descry
The regions of pleasure and love,
My spirit triumphant shall fly
And dwell with my Savior above.

 

2. O happy! thrice happy exchange!
My Savior with eyes full of love.
Now beckons me—soon I shall range
The fields of bright glory above.

O! break off these fetters of clay!
I long to be freed from this load:
Lord Jesus, I mourn thy delay.
Impatient to be with my God.

Each moment seems lingering and flow,
While far from my home I must stay;
I long for those pleasures that flow
Unceasing in regions of day.

 

3. No more to be tempted by sin;
No longer by Satan be vexed;
My conscience is peaceful within,
And is by no passion perplexed.

Now speedily wafted on wing,
This world in a moment I leave:
O death! where is now thy famed sting,
And where is thy victory, O grave?

Rejoice, for a brother's deceased, (a)
Our loss is his infinite gain;
A soul out of prison released,
And freed from its bodily pain.

(a) Original text and translations may be found at Rejoice for a brother deceased.
