And the dust to dust returns,
With the strength which Thou hast given
We may rise to Thee and heaven.
3 God of mercy! on Thee, all
Humbly for Thy guidance call;
Save us from the evil tongue,
From the heart that thinketh wrong,
From the sins, whate’er they be,
That divide the soul from Thee.
God of grace! on Thee we rest;
