Hymns on Paradise

From all spirits he shall be seen, and from every
place he shall be known. Just as it is said
by David: "As the compassion of a father
is upon his children, so the Lord has compassion
upon those who fear him." For while he knows
our frame, that we are dust, and as
grass are his days, and as the flower
of the field, so he shall blossom. For
while he remembers that we are dust,
and as a dream that flies away,
so are our lives. And as the dew
that flies away, so are our years.
And as smoke that is dispersed,
so are our days. And as the shadow
that flies away, so are our years.
And as smoke that is dispersed,
so are our days. And as the shadow
that flies away, so are our years.
And as smoke that is dispersed,
so are our days.
