[Oft in deaths before he dies]

Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about, &c. —xiv. 20.

Oft in deaths before he dies
A dying life he lives,
Oft repeats his sacrifice,
And all to Jesus gives;
Breathes again, of breath bereft,
And starts afresh his course to run,
Never by his Saviour left
Till all his work is done.
