Saints, behold the mighty angel,
Standing on the earth and sea;
Lo, his hand he lifts to heaven,
Swears that time no more shall be:
|: Awful moment, :|
Where shall now the sinner flee!.
Short is time, e’en at the longest,
Man’s frail life is shorter still;
All his days are full of sorrow,
That will soon their course fulfil:
|: Happy mortal, :|
Who performs his maker’s will.
May the awful hour approaching,
Sink within my thoughtless mind,
So that when I hence am summoned,
Cheerful I may feel resigned:
|: At the moment, :|
Let me, Lord, thy mercy find!
