Hurrying toward the grave,
Whether mad master or sad slave,
Whether honest knight or sneaky knave,
Whether cringing coward of “bad” brave,
Whether home is dry castle or damp cave,
Whether silly Sally or somber, silent Dave,
Whether hurrying on earth or on wild wave,
Whether the one who took or the one who gave,
Only Christ can save
From what is beyond the grave!
