The beginning and the end, O Lord, are thine; The span between, life, was mine. I wandered in the darkness and did not discover myself; With thee, O Lord, is clarity, and light is thy house. A short time only, and all is done; Then the whole struggle dies away to nothing. Then I will refresh myself by the waters of life, And will talk with Jesus for ever and ever.
