In this there's most of fear and joy,
Because there's most of sin and grace;
Sin will this mortal frame destroy,
But Christ will bring me to Thy face.

Shall I draw back, and fear the end

Of all my sorrows, tears, and pain,
To which my life and labours tend,
Without which all had been in vain?
Can I for ever be content

Without true happiness and rest?
Is carth become so excellent,
That I should take it for my best?

Or can I think of finding here

That which my soul so long had sought?
Should I refuse those joys, through fear,
Which bounteous love so dearly bought?
All that doth taste of heaven is good;
When heavenly light doth me inform,
When heavenly life stirs in my blood,
When heavenly love my heart doth warm.

Though all the reasons I can see,
Why should I willingly submit,
And comfortably come to Thee;

My God, Thou must accomplish it.
The love which fill'd up all my days,
Will not forsake me to the end;
This broken body Thou wilt raise,
My spirit I to Thee commend.
