'Tis thine to fix the soul's abode: We hold our lives from thee alone, On earth, or in the world unknown. 5 To thee we all our pow'rs resign; Make us and own us still as thine: Then shall we smile, secure from fear, Though death should blast the rising year. 6 Thy children, eager to be gone, Bid time's impetuous tide roll on, And land them on that blooming shore Where years and death are known no more.
