GNaked as from the earth we came
And crept to life at FIRST,
We TO the earth return again,
And mingle with our dust.
The dear delights we here enjoy
And fondly call our own,
Are but short favors borrow'd now,
To be repaid anon.
'Tis God that lifts our comforts high,
Or sinks them in the grave;
He gives, and fblessed be his name
He takes but what he gave.
Peace, all our angry passions, then;
Let each rebellious sigh
Be silent at his sovereign will,
And every murmer die.
III smiling mercy crown our lives,
Its praises shall be spread;
And we'll adore The justice too,
That strikes our comforts dead.
