As Over The Past My Memory Strays,
Why Heaves The Secret Sigh?
’Tis That I Mourn Departed Days,
Still Unprepared To Die.

The World And Worldly Things Beloved,
My Anxious Thoughts Employed;
And Time, Unhallowed, Unimproved,
Presents A Fearful Void.

Yet, Holy Father, Wild Despair
Chase From My Laboring Breast;
Thy Grace It Is Which Prompts The Prayer,
That Grace Can Do The Rest.

My Life’s Brief Remnant All Be Thine;
And When Thy Sure Decree
Bids Me This Fleeting Breath Resign,
O, Speed My Soul To Thee.
