1. Come all you friends and neighbors,
For you know that you are born to die.
Come view my situation,
As helpless here I lie.

2 Long time have I been striving,
Dear Lord, remember me.
And in my weakened condition
Never let me seek in vain.

3. There we'll all join together
Dear Savior to adore.
There sickness and consumption
And fevers is no more.
