Eternal Afflicted Light

He has broken my strength,

And has shortened my days;

Weakened at such a length,

By the sinner who strays.

 

Take me away O God,

Whose years endure throughout;

Generations have flawed,

In having so much doubt.

 

God laid the foundation,

With the work of His hands;

Heavenly creation,

By His voice He commands.

 

He changes like a robe;

As sinners pass away;

Perish around the globe,

But the Lord will still stay.

 

The Lord remains the same,

For His years have no end;

His children shall proclaim,

His servants as His friend.

 

Their offspring established,

As they shall dwell secured;

But sinners are punished,

No longer be endured.
