1. And now, belovèd Lord, thy soul resigning/ Into thy Father's arms with conscious will,/ Calmly, with reverend grace, thy head inclining,/ The throbbing brow and labouring breast grow still. 2. O Love! o'er mortal agony victorious,/ Now is thy triumph! now that Cross shall shine/ To earth's remotest age revered and glorious,/ Of suffering's deepest mystery the sign. 3. My Saviour, in mine hour of mortal anguish,/ When earth grows dim, and round me falls the night,/ O breathe thy peace, as flesh and spirit languish;/ At that dread eventide let there be light. 4. To thy dear Cross turn thou mine eyes in dying;/ Lay but my fainting head upon thy breast;/ Those outstretched arms receive my latest sighing;/ And then, O! then, thine everlasting rest./ Amen.
