Immortality

Jesus

I

a help­less mor­tal

Ere I per­ish

come to Thee;

Thou of life the on­ly por­tal

Give me im­mor­tal­ity;

Soon this world must pass away;

Naught ab­ides ex­cept in Thee;

Give me life that lasts for aye;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.

Thou hast said Thy sheep shall nev­er

Never per­ish—cease to be;

O

I want to live for­ev­er;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.

Thou of hope the on­ly door

Thou of life the liv­ing tree

Give me life for­ev­er­more;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.

Thou with end­less life the pow­er

Great Mel­chi­ze­dek I see;

Share with me this price­less dow­er;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.

King of right­eous­ness and peace

Priest of God’s eter­ni­ty

Give me life that ne’er shall cease;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.

Savior dear

I yield Thee now

Glory that be­longs to Thee;

Bread of life eter­nal Thou;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.

Save from death as well as sin;

Let me live

and live with Thee:

Life of ag­es I would I win;

Give me im­mor­tal­ity.
