I
Though the work of conquest is reached
by God’s purging of man’s prospects,
man will be ultimately led
to the proper place God prepared.
Because it is God who works man,
their destination is assured.
Since God created man, He leads them.
Since He saves, He’ll thoroughly save them.
Man He’ll completely gain.
Since He created man and manages them,
He must be responsible for their fate.
He’ll bring them to their proper destination.
And this is the work done by the Creator.
II
That which man hopes for and pursues
are the yearnings of their pursuit
of the fleshly lavish desires,
and not the destination due.
After creation God prepared blessings due,
as well as His pledge.
It’s for man once they’ve been made pure,
free from man’s choice, notions or flesh.
Because it is God who works man,
their destination is assured.
Since God created man, He leads them.
Since He saves, He’ll thoroughly save them.
Man He’ll completely gain.
Since He created man and manages them,
He must be responsible for their fate.
He’ll bring them to their proper destination.
And this is the work done by the Creator.
III
This destination is not prepared
with a specific person in mind,
but it’s a place of rest for the whole of mankind,
well suited resting place for the whole of mankind.
Since God created man, He leads them.
Since He saves, He’ll thoroughly save them.
Man He’ll completely gain.
Since He created man and manages them,
He must be responsible for their fate.
He’ll bring them to their proper destination.
And this is the work done by the Creator.
