They say the world will end in fire;
But what if destruction – reeks of ice
To this alone my thoughts aspire.

Several are those who worship – inquire
And shall be judged like all the rest.
They say the world will end in fire.

His favor leaves us nothing to require;
Good actions alone in the end will save.
To this alone my thoughts aspire.

For those who sin – results are dire;
None shall come to take the blame.
They say the world will end in fire.

Like saints that at the stake expire;
No guilt in life or fear in death.
To this alone my thoughts aspire.

There is a Voice whose tones inspire;
Enlarge the close – contracted mind.
They say the world will end in fire;
To this alone my thoughts aspire.
