Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord,

Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord, Then, I am ready to go! Just a look at the Horses -- Rapid! That will do!

Put me in on the firmest side -- So I shall never fall -- For we must ride to the Judgment -- And it's partly, down Hill --

But never I mind the steeper -- And never I mind the Sea -- Held fast in Everlasting Race -- By my own Choice, and Thee --

Goodbye to the Life I used to live -- And the World I used to know -- And kiss the Hills, for me, just once -- Then -- I am ready to go!
