Lord you have been our refuge

Before the mountains were brought forth

Or land and earth were born

From age to age you are God

You turn us back to dust and say

' Go back to dust, O child of earth'

For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday which is past like a watch In the night

You sweep us away like a dream 

We fade away suddenly like the grass

in the morning it is green and flowers

In the evening it is dried up and withered
