Jesus, you place on my forehead
the sign of my sister Death:
Remember you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.
How not hear her wise advice?
One day my life on earth will end;
the limits on my years are set,
though I know not the day or hour.
Shall I be ready to go to meet you?
Let this holy season be a time of grace
for me and all this world.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
