1. Blessed is the Lord, eternal, without beginning
Great in gifts, the ever bountiful provider

2. I have found pleasure in the abode of death
And death's flaw is enough for me in death's abode

3. Let each man beware of trusting in himself
For not every trusted friend is true to his word

4. By your life! The eye is not blind to death in blindness
Nor is the mind of a rational man doubtful of resurrection

5. And the world continues to show people openly
A witness for it that points to the unseen
