Christ to me is life on earth
And death to me is gain,
Because I trust through him alone
Salvation to obtain.
And death to me is gain,
Because I trust through him alone
Salvation to obtain.

Research
I was surprised as I couldn't find a reference for this epitaph, even though it sounds like a hymn or prayer.
References
I did find the epitaph that included the same words with some additional:
Christ is to me as life on earth, and death to me is gaine,
Because I trust through Him alone saluation to obtaine;
So brittle is the state of man, so soon it doth decay,
So all the glory of this world must pas and fade away.
Christ is to me as life on earth, and death to me is gaine,
Because I trust through Him alone saluation to obtaine;
So brittle is the state of man, so soon it doth decay,
So all the glory of this world must pas and fade away.
