Ah, grant me, Lord, in death to find

Verse 1
Ah, grant me, Lord, in death to find,
That death is swallowed up in thee,
While on thy loving breast reclin’d
I gasp for immortality,
Purchas’d by thine expiring groan,
And feel it in my heart made known.

Verse 2
Ah, Saviour, now in me reveal
Th’ eternal life thou dost bestow,
And when my mortal foe I feel,
I’ll trample on my mortal foe,
Into thine hands my spirit give,
And long as my Redeemer live.
