Dust to dustA
Fall and perish love and lustA
Life is one brief autumn dayB
Sin and sorrow haunt the wayB
To the narrow house of clayB
Clutching at the good and justA
Dust to dustA
-
Dust to dustA
Still we strive and toil and trustA
From the cradle to the graveC
Vainly crying Jesus saveC
Fall the coward and the braveC
Fall the felon and the justA
Dust to dustA
-
Dust to dustA
Hark I hear the wintry gustA
Yet the roses bloom to dayB
Blushing to the kiss of MayB
While the north winds sigh and sayB
Lo we bring the cruel frostD
Dust to dustA
-
Dust to dustA
Yet we live and love and trustA
Lifting burning brow and eyeE
To the mountain peaks on highE
From the peaks the ages cryE
Strewing ashes rime and rustA
Dust to dustA
-
Dust to dustA
What is gained when all is lostD
Gaily for a day we treadF
Proudly with averted headF
O'er the ashes of the deadF
Blind with pride and mad with lustA
Dust to dustA
-
Hope and trustA
All life springs from out the dustA
Ah we measure God by manG
Looking forward but a spanG
On His wondrous boundless planG
All His ways are wise and justA
Hope and trustA
-
Hope and trustA
Hope will blossom from the dustA
Love is queen God's throne is hersH
His great heart with loving forceI
Throbs throughout the universeJ
We are His and He is justA
Hope and trustA
