2. Time passes on; my end draws near.
#210 - Who Knows When Death
[1] Who knows when
death may overtake me!
Time passes on; my end draws near.
How swiftly can my breath forsake me!
How soon can life's last hour appear!
[Refrain] My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Your peace may bless my dying day.

3. [2] My many sins blot out forever Since Jesus has my pardon won;
#210 - Who Knows When Death
[2] My many sins blot out forever
Since Jesus has my pardon won;
In mercy robed, I then shall never
Fear death, but trust in you alone.
[Refrain] My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Your peace may bless my dying day.

4. [3] Once in the blest baptismal waters
#210 - Who Knows When Death
[3] Once in the blest baptismal waters
I put on Christ and made him mine;
Now, numbered with
God's sons and daughters,
I share his peace and love divine.
[Refrain] My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Your peace may bless my dying day.

5. [4] His body and his blood I've taken
#210 - Who Knows When Death
[4] His body and his blood I've taken
In his blest supper, feast divine;
Now I shall never be forsaken
For I am his and he is mine.
[Refrain] My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Your peace may bless my dying day.

6. I know in Christ I perish not;
#210 - Who Knows When Death
[5] Though death may
come today, tomorrow,
I know in Christ I perish not;
He grants the peace that stills all sorrow,
Gives me a robe without a spot.
[Refrain] My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Your peace may bless my dying day.
