Soaring to worlds unknown

Rock of Ages, Burrington Combe, England
 
 
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgement throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

-- Rock of Ages, Augustus Toplady (1775)
