lyrics

And am I born to die, to lay this body down
And must my trembling spirit fly into a world unknown?

The God that rules on high, that all the earth surveys,
That rides upon the stormy sky and calms the roaring sea:

She formed the deeps unknown, she gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all her own and all the solid ground.

Thou sun with golden beams and moon with paler rays,
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames, shine to your maker's praise.

The hill of Zion yields a thousand sweets
Before we reach the heavenly field or walk the golden streets.

And is the love of peace the answer to our woes,
And is the beauty of the Earth the balm for every wound?
