God for all will make amends,
Since our griefs are His bestowing:
Weep not joys that ne’er endure,
Heavenly joy alone is sure.
Weep not that I now farewell
Bid the world and all its errors,
Far from vain deceits to dwell,
Far from darkness, far from terrors:
Weep not that I take my flight
Toward the land of endless light.
