And that which is to be
Has already been
And God requireth that which is past.
All go unto one place;
All are of the dust,
And all turn to dust again.
Who knows the spirit of man
That goeth upward,
And the spirit of the beast
That goeth downward to the earth?
I perceive that there is nothing better,
Than that a man should rejoice in his own works;
For that is his heritage:
For who shall bring him to see
What will happen after him?
Eat and drink, and enjoy the good
Eat and drink, and enjoy the good
Eat and drink, and enjoy the good
Of all his labour,
It is the gift
A gift, a gift, a gift
It is the gift
That which hath been is now And that which is to be Has already been And God requireth that which is past. All go unto one place; All are of the dust, And all turn to dust again. Who knows the spirit of man That goeth upward, And the spirit of the beast That goeth downward to the earth? I perceive that there is nothing better, Than that a man should rejoice in his own works; For that is his heritage: For who shall bring him to see What will happen after him? Eat and drink, and enjoy the good Eat and drink, and enjoy the good Eat and drink, and enjoy the good Of all his labour, It is the gift A gift, a gift, a gift It is the gift Explain Request ×
