Tell me Lady, tell, prithee,
When from earth I pass away,
Will you then remember me?

When there shall to all be known
How my time away was thrown,
How with sins my days were sown,
And my depths of misery —
Will you then remember me?

Through the realms of the eternal
Of the Judgment Seat diurnal,
Refuge from the doom infernal,
In your prayers alone I see, —
Will you then remember me?

When upon the dreaded scales
All my poor accounting fails
To report the bonds and bails
That your Son has given in fee —
Will you then remember me?

Finale

When my soul in grief astounded
At the judgment bar surrounded
With the charge of guilt is hounded,
And your prayers alone can free, —
Will you then remember me?
