595 : 3
Death comes to all, and all must suffer separation.

595 : 4

595 : 7
by whose Grace peace ever prevails. ||Pause||

595 : 8
Praise Him as great; He is, and He shall ever be.

595 : 9
You alone are the Great Giver; mankind cannot give anything.

595 : 10
Whatever pleases Him, comes to pass; what good does it do to cry out in protest? ||2||

595 : 11

595 : 12
And those, whom even the sky could not contain, had ropes put through their noses.

595 : 13

595 : 14

Make your ever-decreasing life your shop, and make the Lord's Name your merchandise.

595 : 24
Make understanding and contemplation your warehouse, and in that warehouse, store the Lord's Name.

595 : 25
Deal with the Lord's dealers, earn your profits, and rejoice in your mind. ||2||

Gather up merits for your travelling expenses, and do not think of tomorrow in your mind.
