And Am I Born To Die?

(traditional, based on: Charles Wesley, 1763)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. And am I born to die
to lay this body down
and must my trembling spirit fly
into a world unknown

2. A land of deepest shade
unpierced by human thought
that dreary region of the dead
where all things are forgot

3. Soon as from Earth I go
what will become of me
eternal hapiness or woe
must then my portion be
