Naked as from the earth we came | C |
And crept to life at first | D |
We to the earth return again | E |
And mingle with our dust | F |

The dear delights we here enjoy | G |
And fondly call our own | H |
Are but short favors borrowed now | I |
To be repaid anon | I |

'Tis God that lifts our comforts high | J |
Or sinks them in the grave | K |
He gives and blessed be his name | C |
He takes but what he gave | K |
- | |
Peace all our angry passions then | I |
Let each rebellious sigh | J |
Be silent at his sovereign will | L |
And every murmur die | J |
- | |
If smiling mercy crown our lives | A |
Its praises shall be spread | M |
And we'll adore the justice too | N |
That strikes our comforts dead | M |
