THE WORKS OF CHRISTOPHER DOCK

6.
Nay, on Thee
I rely,
Thou canst save,
Even though blanchèd death,
E'en though hell, pain and torment,
Me within their jaws hold fast.
 
7.
Take me up,
When my life,
Will meet its close,
Let within Thy silken shrine,
My soul rest in safety,
For Thy blood for me was shed.
 
8.
Go, oh world,
Me doth please
Naught upon this earth,
Sorrow lurks in vanity,
Joy abounds in blessedness;
Jesus, grant me Thy salvation.
