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 partly down hill.
But never I mind the bridges, / And never I mind the sea; / Held fast in everlasting race / By my own choice and thee.
Good-by to the life I used to live, / And the world I used to know; / And kiss the hills for me, just once; / Now I am ready to go!
