Who shall sustain my sinking years If God my strength depart? 3 Let me thy power and truth proclaim Before the rising age, And leave a savour of thy name When I shall quit the stage. 4 The land of silence and of death Attends my next remove; Oh may these poor remains of breath Teach the wide world thy love! Pause. 5 Thy righteousness is deep and high, Unsearchable thy deeds; Thy glory spreads beyond the sky, And all my praise exceeds. 6 Oft have I heard thy threatenings roar, And oft endur'd the grief: But when thy hand has prest me sore, Thy grace was my relief. 7 By long experience have I known Thy sovereign power to save; At thy command I venture down Securely to the grave. 8 When I lie buried deep in dust, My flesh shall be thy care; These wither'd limbs with thee I trust To raise them strong and fair.
