William Knapp - My life's a shade - ноты, текст песни (слова)

My life's a shade; my days 
 Apace to death decline; 
 My Lord is life, he'll raise 
 My dust again, e'en mine.
 
 Chorus: 
 Sweet truth to me, I shall arise 
 And with these eyes my savior see.
 
 My peaceful grave shall keep my bones till that sweet day,
 I wake from my long sleep, and leave my bed of clay. 
 
 My Lord his angels shall their golden trumpets sound; 
 At whose most welcome call my grave shall be unbound.... 
 
 I said sometimes with tears, Ah me! I'm loth to die; 
 Lord, silence thou those fears, my life's with thee on high....
 
 What means my trembling heart, to be thus shy of death ? 
 My life and I shan't part, tho' I resign my breath ....... 
 
 Then welcome harmless grave; by thee to heav'n I'll go;
 My Lord, his death shall save me from the flames below......
