Dying Prayer

Lord this might be my dying day

Lord see me through by grace I pray

Whether I go, or if I stay

Your purposes, fulfill

Lord I trust in your Will.

Lord this may be my dying night

I won’t fear death or live in fright

For then as now I’ll walk in light

Though winds may blow most ill

Still I trust in your Will

Lord if  I come to lose my health

Lord if I waste my time and wealth

Lord, teach me how to die to self

Rebuke me Lord until

I come to trust your will

In true pleasure or in pain

To live is Christ, to die is gain

Yet life will never be in vain

Days with your presence fill

As I come to know Your will.

Lord when it comes my time to die

Let no regret nor sin nor lie

Abide within me, bye and bye

As courage you instill

Lord help me trust your Will

Lord when I leave this earthly vail

Give me grace that faith  won’t fail

Though doubts, temptations may assail

Lord you will keep me still

As I trust in Your will.
