Dust to Dust, the Mortal Dies

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #97 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Red) Lyrics: 1 Dust to dust, the mortal dies, Both the foolish and the wise; None forever can remain, Each must leave his hoarded gain. Yet within their heart they say That their houses are for aye, That their dwelling places grand Shall for generations stand. 2 To their lands they give their name In the hope of lasting fame; But man's honor quickly flies, Like the lowly beast he dies. Though such folly mark their way, Men approve of what they say; Death their shepherd, they the sheep, He within his fold will keep. 3 O'er them soon shall rule the just, All their beauty turn to dust; God my waiting soul shall save, He will raise me from the grave. Let no fear disturb your peace Though one's house and wealth increase; Death shall end his fleeting day, He shall carry naught away. 4 Though in life he wealth attained, Though the praise of men he gained, He shall join those gone before, Where the light shall shine no more. Crowned with honor though he be, Highly gifted, strong and free, If he be not truly wise, Man is like the beast that dies.

Watchman, Tell Us Of The Night

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #223 (1934) Hymnal Title: Reformed Press Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are; Trav'ler, o’er yon mountain’s height, See that glory-beaming star! Watchman, does its beauteous ray Aught of hope or joy foretell? Trav'ler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet the star ascends; Trav'ler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends; Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Trav'ler, ages are its own, See, it bursts o’er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn; Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn; Watchman, let thy wand'ring cease, Hie thee to thy quiet home! Trav'ler, lo, the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God, is come! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN
