The Issues of Life
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.

The Song of Jubilee
Author: J. Montgomery Appears in 446 hymnals First Line: Hark! the song of Jubilee Lyrics: 1. Hark! the song of Jubilee;
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fulness of the sea
When it breaks upon the shore;
Hallelujah! 'tis the Lord!
Lo, he comes on earth to reign;
Hallelujah! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
2. Hallelujah! hark! the sound
Rises joyful to the skies;
From above, beneath, around,
Wake creation's harmonies:
See Jehovah's banner furl'd,
Sheath'd his sword: he speaks, 'tis done;
Hallelujah! let the word
Echo around the earth and main.
3. He shall reign from pole to pole
With supreme, unbounded sway;
He shall reign, when like a scroll
Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away:
Then beneath his iron rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! to our God,
Lo, he comes to conquer all. Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
The Song of Jubilee
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.
