When I die and they lay me to restGonna go to the place that's the bestWhen I lay me down to dieGoin' up to the spirit in the sky

Goin' up to the spirit in the skyThat's where I'm gonna go when I dieWhen I die and they lay me to restGonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself, you know it's a mustGotta have a friend in JesusSo you know that when you dieHe's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you to the spirit in the skyThat's where you're gonna go when you dieWhen you die and they lay you to restYou're gonna go to the place that's the best

Once more! Our God, vouchsafe to shine:Tame Thou the rigor of our clime.Make haste with Thy impartial light,And terminate this long dark night.

Let the transplanted English vineSpread further still: still call it Thine. Prune it with skill: for yield it canMore fruit to thee the husbandman.

Give the poor Indians eyes to seeThe light of life, and set them free;That they religion may professDenying all ungodliness.
