I left the seas at Gods command;

Where oft I have been tost;

Here now, I fear not rocks nor sand,

Being on a quite safe coast.

Now here I silently doe lay,

Til Christ, my Glorious Head,

Once by his quickning voice shall cry,

And raise me from the dead.

Post mortum vitae ( Life after death ).
