With Those Years What Did I Do?

All the many years that went,

How quickly they were spent,

So swiftly they just rushed by,

Now few remain before I die,

Or, as is said, this body I drop

And this lifetime comes to a stop.

With those years what did I do?

You know best, for it was You

Who did through me throughout,

Yes, You, not me, without a doubt,

Deeds various that You did prefer,

Through me You caused to occur.

Though all it was You who’d done,

This secret’s known to almost none!
