Let Me Die Like a Christian

Let the mes­sage go forth

Send it o­ver the earth

Sound­ing clear­ly and sweet­ly

Pro­claim­ing the worth

Of a faith that can say

Meet­ing death on the way:

Tell them all

I can die like a Christ­ian.

O to die like a Christ­ian

Who would not die like a Christ­ian?

With Christ by my side

what­so­ev­er be­tide

Let me die

let me die like a Christ­ian.

Unto Him who de­stroyed

All the sting death em­ployed

Mak­ing ful­ly and just­ly

The death sen­tence void;

Let us come while we may

That in death we can say:

Tell them all

I can die like a Christ­ian.

If we trust in His blood

If we own Him as Lord

Res­ur­rect­ion and glo­ry

Shall come thro’ His word;

And in death we may sing

By the grace of death’s King:

Tell them all

I can die like a Christ­ian.
