               Lord

               I
               am
               comming
               as
               fast
               as
               I
               can

               I
               know
               I
               must
               passe
               
               through
               the
               shadow

               death
               ,
               before
               I

               But
               it

               ;
               but
               thou
               by
               thy
               merits
               and

               Peace
               and
               Plenty
               ,
               and
               with
               brotherly
               love
               and
               charity
               ,
               that
               there
               may
               not
