¶Lyrics / Text

::(Babcock 1803) Remember now, remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth; Before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, In which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure of them. Before the sun shall be darkened, And the keepers of the house shall tremble, And the sound of the grinding shall cease. When men shall rise at the voice of the bird, And all the daughters of music shall be brought low, Because man goeth to his long home, And mourners go about the streets. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, And the spirit shall return unto God that gave it. Let us hear the conclusion: Fear God, and keep his commandments, For this is the duty of man.
