O, hail Death!
With kindness in your white face
Take my hand
Take
Me
to peace.
O, hail Death!
He who opens his arms to the lost, the broken, the fallen
His love a shelter
Enfolding
Me
In black folds of white
O, hail Death!
Listen to your disciples wail, mercy
Harolding your new claim
Escort
Me
To the Afterlife
