Lord, let at last Thine angels come


Lord, let at last Thine angels come

To Abraham's bosom bear me home

 That I may die unfearing

And in its narrow chamber sleep

My body safe in peaceful sleep

 Until Thy reappearing

And then from death awaken me

That these mine eyes with joy may see

 O Son of God, Thy glorious face

 My Savior and my fount of grace

Lord Jesus Christ, my prayer attend, my prayer attend

And I will praise Thee without end

"Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart," Lutheran Service Book, #708, verse three
