For Ever and Ever. Amen

O Lord, who, in thy sweetness, hast been pleased to visit and refresh my poor soul. Now let thy servant depart in peace, accord- ing to thy word. Now thou art come to me, and I will not let thee go ; now I willingly bid farewell to the world, and with joy I come to thee, my God. Nothing more, O good Jesus, nothing more shall separate me from thee. Now 1 am united to thee, in thee will 1 live, and in thee will I die, and in thee I hope to abide for ever. Now life seems uneasy to me; I desire to be dis- solved and be with Christ; for Christ is my life, and to die will he my gain. Now I will fear no evils, though I walk in the shadow of death, because thou art with me, O Lord. As the hart panteth after the fountains of water, so doth my soul thirst after thee, O God. My soul is athirst for the fountain of living water ; oh, when shall I come and appear before the face of mv God ! What have I more to do with the world! and in heaven, what have I to desire but only thee, my God ! Into thy hands l commend my spirit; receive me, sweet Jesus ; in thee may I rest, and in thy happiness rejoice without end. Amen
