Lord, my hour is arriving.
My lifetime is ending.
Furthermore, I cannot do anything,
I know this is my moment of dying.
I die, but I die very happily,
I know I did many good things.
In my life, it did not lack anything for me.
The Lord was always with me.
One day, I was lost in the world, in a bad life,
I was a better example of a vagabond, the whole time.
My acts did not bring any happiness,
I wanted to disturb others and make a mess.
But the Lord came to the lost ones,
He saved my life and rid me of risks.
All my sins were forgiven.
And to a decent life, I was being taken.
My whole behavior, the Holy Spirit has changed,
Where inhabited only wickedness, the love increased.
I never wanted to serve the sin again.
From that time on, I was a saved man.
The rest of my life, to the Lord, I dedicated,
In many works to God, I collaborated.
I went to many places, for many people, I preached,
Many souls to God, I gained.
Now, I say goodbye to all my beloved ones,
Do not be sad, to the beloved Father, I am coming.
The death, I am not fearing,
For me, there, God is waiting.
In the way of God, you must follow,
Then, in eternity, we will be gathered.
I see you soon, my time has already ended,
Now, receive my spirit, oh Lord!
