Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Dust to dust, the mortal dies 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. Tho' 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 Tho' one's house and wealth increase; Death shall end his fleeting day, He shall carry naught away. 4 Though in life he wealth attained, Tho' the praise of men he gained, He shall join those gone before, Where the light shall shine no more. Crowned with honor tho' he be, Highly gifted, strong and free, If he be not truly wise, Man is like the beast that dies.

Brother pilgrim, be not weary

Author: L. D. Santee Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brother pilgrim, be not weary; Tune your harp for heaven and home, Where the heart is never dreary, And where tears shall never come: Don your armor, be not sleeping; One short hour, and 'twill be past; One brief hour of toil and weeping, Then comes heaven and home at last. 2 Let your eyes to heaven be turning, Darkened sun and falling stars, See the crimson heavens burning, Earth prepared for final wars; Hear the scoffer ask with jeering, "Where's the sign that he is nigh?" Turn your eyes with joy and fearing To the omens in the sky. 3 Signs in nature oft have told us Of the saints' glad jubilee; Soon shall azure skies enfold us, And upon the jasper sea We shall stand in robes of whiteness, Praising him upon the throne, And in heaven's eternal brightness We shall know as we are known.

Son of God, thy people's shield

Author: Anon. Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Son of God, thy people's shield, Must we still thine absence mourn? Let thy promise be fulfilled; Thou hast said, "I will return." Gracious Master, soon appear Quickly bring thy morning's light; Then will cease the constant tear, Hope be turned to joyful sight. 2 As a woman counts the days Till her absent lord she sees, Longs and watches, weeps and prays, So the church must long for thee. Come, that we may see thee nigh; Then the sheep shall feed in peace; Hushed forever trouble's sigh, Sin and sorrow's triumph cease. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
