In death there is no remembrance of Thee: in the grave who shall give Thee thanks?
Psalm 6:5
Words: Franklin E. Belden, Christ in Song (Battle Creek, Michigan: Review & Herald, 1900), number 19.
Music: Franz W. Abt, arranged by Franklin Belden (🔊 pdf nwc).
Not in the hour of death,
Not when the pulse is low;
Not with the failing breath,
Not when you fear to go.
Refrain
Come to Him now, come,
Come to Him now;
Jesus can save,
O come to Him now;
Jesus will save,
O come to Him now.
Not when the frost of time
Has changed the gold to gray;
Come in the golden prime
Of manhood’s summer day.
Refrain
Not when the noon of care
Has robbed the flow’rs of dew;
Come in the morning fair,
Of life’s glad springtime new.
