God be thank'd that the dead have left still
Good undone for the living to do--
Still read more

God be thank'd that the dead have left still
Good undone for the living to do--
Still some aim for the heart and the will
And the soul of a man to pursue.

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil
days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I

strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because
they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened.

Down in my accusin' heart, "Nigger, I'se got too much to do,
You get somebody else or wait till I get through."
