Life is fleeting But my heart is still beating So keep it still But only thy will For my desire is to glorify And my want is to praise you till by and by But while on this earth I ask not for mirth Only rebirth And a chance to tell another About about my heavenly father But the day is done And I petition, by your son, For you to bless my rest And may my slumber be your behest In your sonβs precious name Amen
