Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.
To understand life,
Know death we must.
Spirit to form,
Form to spirit.
We've all seen death,
We're all so near it.
Life to death,
Death to heaven.
And in that splendour
We'll live again.
Squalor to splendour,
Rags to wealth.
We'll all sing praises
To the Lord Who dwelt
Here, in our sad and sorry world.
But we, though sinners, before Him dancing whirl
In never-ending song of joyous praise.
And to Him praises our voices will raise
"Hail He Who died for all of our mankind!"
But ere we humans this glory may find
We must go through the shadow of death.
But we will praise Him with our every breath!
And shall, until he comes, glorious, again
To this world, down from His high heaven
And in His name we shall conquer this earth:
All those who have had the Second Birth
Into the family of God's Son, the Christ.
And we will fight beside him in his might,
And we shall overcome all of our foes;
Because of Him our voices know not woe!
