Oh what is this I cannot see
With icy hands take hold of me
Oh I am Death, that none can excel
I open the door of heaven and hell
Now Death, O Death how can it be
That I must come and go with thee
For death, O Death how can it be
For I'm unprepared for eternity
Yes, I've come for to get your soul
Leave your body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh from off your frame
The earth and worms both have their claim
Now Death, O Death if this be true
Please give me time to reason with you
From time to time you heard and saw
I'll close your eyes, and lock your jaws
I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll dim your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me
Now Death, O Death consider my age
And do not take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
The old, the young, the rich, the poor
They alike with me will have to go
No age, no wealth, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your poor soul
Now Death, O Death please let me see
If Christ has turned his back on me
When you were called and asked to bow
You wouldn't take heed and it's too late now
Now Death, O Death please give me time
To fix my heart and change my mind
Your heart is fixed, your mind is bound
I have these shackles to drag you down
Too late, too late, to all farewell
My doom is fixed, I'm summonsed to hell
As long as God in heaven shall dwell
My soul my soul shall scream in hell
