EVEN such is Time, that takes in trust | |||
Our youth, our joys, our all we have, | |||
And pays us but with earth and dust; | |||
Who in the dark and silent grave, | |||
When we have wander'd all our ways, | |||
Shuts up the story of our days; | |||
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, | |||
My God shall raise me up, I trust. | |||

Original text and translations
EVEN such is Time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wander'd all our ways, Shuts up the story of our days; But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust.
