To live as though I have no wife;
to hate this world and earthly life.
Kill the body! Can’t kill the soul!
By and by He’ll make me whole.
To live, eternity in light.
To live, eternity in light.
To wait a day and wait a night;
to, by faith, give good fight.
T’will die the body; not so the soul;
whether young or whether old.
To die well and finish right.
To die well and finish right.
To serve my Master out of sight;
to see that I have His delight.
Then in body, this I know,
works and pay will surely show.
To cast crown and boast in Christ.
To cast crown and boast in Christ.
