Tune: Song 34
(\'Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go\')
2 Timothy 4 v.6-8
*********
Paul said, I am now ready to
Be offered, Lord, my life to you
Time of my departing at hand
You give me grace to understand
I have fought a good fight, and I
By your help I you not deny
I have finished my course, my race
Now to leave earth for better place
I have kept the faith,and from now
There is laid up a crown, \'tis how
The Lord, the righteous judge rewards
Crown of righteousness me affords* (*gives)
At the last day it me shall give
He, Lord of life, does ever live
Not given only unto me
Also to all who love Him, see
