Tie the strings to my life, my Lord

Tie the strings to my Life, My Lord,
Then, I am ready to go!
Just a look at the Horses -
Rapid! That will do!

Put me in on the firmest side -
So I shall never fall -
For we must ride to the Judgment -
And it's many a mile -And it's partly, down Hill -

But never I mind theBridges steepest -
And never I mind the Sea -
Held fast in Everlasting Race -
By my own Choice, and Thee -

Good bye to the Life I used to live -
And the World I used to know -
Here's a keepsake for the HillsAnd kiss the Hills, for me, just once -
NowThen - I am ready to go!
