by Unknown

And leave it to return no more.

Cowper.

Dangers stand thick through all the ground

To push us to the tomb,

And fierce diseases wait around

To hurry mortals home.

Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense

To walk this dangerous road,

And if our souls be hurried hence,

May they be found with God.
