My soul, come meditate the day,
And think how near it stands,
When thou must quit this house of clay,
And fly to unknown lands.
 
How we should scorn these clothes of flesh,
These fetters, and this load!
And long for evening to undress,
That we may rest with God.

My soul, come meditate the day,
And think how near it stands,
When thou must quit this house of clay,
And fly to unknown lands.

How we should scorn these clothes of flesh,
These fetters, and this load!
And long for evening to undress,
That we may rest with God.
