Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord

Put me in on the firmest side —

So I shall never fall —

For we must ride to the Judgment —

And it's partly, down Hill —

But never I mind the steeper —

And never I mind the Sea —

Held fast in Everlasting Race —

By my own Choice, and Thee —

Goodbye to the Life I used to live —

And the World I used to know —

And kiss the Hills, for me, just once —

Then — I am ready to go!
