The wandering star, the fleeting wind,
Are less uncertain than the mind;
The ripple on the restless sea
Is not more changeable than we.
Often our best affections pass
Like dew-drops glittering on the grass;
And when our summer day has shone
Like grass we wither and are gone.
Lord, in thy presence we confess
Our folly and unsteadfastness;
Oh, from our weakness set us free,
And fix our wavering hearts on thee.
Then, though the hour should early come,
To lay us in the silent tomb,
We should not fear, by thee forgiven,
To sleep on earth and wake in heaven.
