I.—Chorus:
God's own time is ever best of all. In Him live we, move and have our being as long as He wills. And in Him we die at His good time, when He wills.

0 Lord, incline us to consider that our days are number'd. Make us apply our hearts unto wisdom.
III.—Bass :
'Set in order thme house, for thou shalt die, and not remain among the living.
IV.—Chorus :
It Is the old decree, Man, thou art mortal. Yea, come, Lord Jesus, come.
V.—Alto :
Into Thy hands my spirit I commend, for Thou hast redeemed me, 0 Lord, Thou God of truth.
VI.—Bass-Allo :
Thou shalt be with me today in Paradise. In joy and peace I pass away, whene'er
God willeth.
The tears that vex my anxious soul, His love stillcth.
Trusting in His promise sure,
In death I sleep calm and secure.
VII.—Chorale :
AH glory, praise, and majesty, To Father,
Son, and Spirit be,
The holy, blessed, Trinity, whose power to us gives victory.
Through Jesus Christ, Amen.
