In Peace and Joy I Now Depart

In peace and joy I now de­part

At God’s dis­pos­ing;

For full of com­fort is my heart

Soft re­pos­ing.

So the Lord hath pro­mised me

And death is but a slum­ber.

’Tis Christ that wrought this work for me

My faith­ful Sav­ior

Whom Thou hast made mine eyes to see

By Thy fa­vor.

Now I know He is my life

My help in need and dy­ing.

Him Thou hast un­to all set forth

Their great sal­va­tion

And to His king­dom called the earth

Every na­tion

By Thy dear and whole­some Word

In ev­ery place re­sound­ing.

He is the hope and sav­ing light

Of lands be­night­ed;

By Him are they who dwelt in night

Fed and light­ed.

He is Is­ra­el’s praise and bliss

Their joy

re­ward

and glo­ry.
