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!
