Remember, now, thy Creator Remember, now, thy creator Remember, now, thy creator In the days of thy youth. While the evil days come not, Nor the moon nor the stars be darkened Nor the clouds return after the rain, When the keepers of the house shall tremble And the strong men shall bow. When the keepers of the house shall tremble And the strong men shall bow. Or ever the silver cord be loosed, Or ever the silver cord be loosed, Or ever the silver cord be loosed, Or broken the golden bowl. Or the pitcher at the fountain broken Or the wheel at the cistern still Or the pitcher at the fountain broken Or the wheel at the cistern still. Then shall the dust to the earth return Then shall the dust to the earth return Then shall the dust to the earth return And the spirit unto God who gave it, And the spirit unto God who gave it. The mourners go about the streets And man to his long home. The mourners go about the streets And man to his long home.
