To those who listen well. A hosanna to the most high God.
God has given me His life,
For He sustained me in the latter days.
When we were rich in beauty,
He pruned and made us thrive.
Now the gates of hell may stand against me,
But the LORD is with me in the furnace.
His visage is brilliant, as is the sun,
With no darkness at all.
He stands in honor and victory,
For His reign is to the utmost parts of the earth.
So I will lament in the dying of my body,
And make short work of the flesh.
If I make my bed, I know my rest will be sweet.
If I dream of freedom, I know my prayers’ answer.
When soon seems far away, behold!
God is there in a flash! Rejoice!
