| | | E’EN such is time; that takes in trust | |
| Our youth, our joys, our all we have, | |
| And pays us but with earth and dust; | |
| Who in the dark and silent grave, | |
| When we have wandered all our ways, | 5 |
| Shuts up the story of our days: | |
| But from this earth, this grave, this dust, | |
| My God shall raise me up, I trust. | | | | |
