If Thou Art Near

If thou art near when life is closing

All joyful shall i fall asleep,

Be thou with me as i awaken,

And claim my soul when i arise

If thou art near when life is closing,

All joyful shall i fall asleep,

Ah, how serene, were thus my passing,

Thy tender hand upraised in blessing

Would sanctify my slumber deep

Be thou with me, as i awaken

And claim my soul when i arise.
