1 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.

2 'Tis Christ that wrought this work for me,
The 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.
The 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.
3 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.

Every nation,
By Thy dear and wholesome Word,
In every place resounding.
