29.
[I bow me to my God's decree]
Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
—iii. 19.
I bow me to my God's decree,
I own the sentence just,
(The sentence of mortality,)
And dust return to dust:
Yet quicken'd by the trumpet's sound,
This dust again shall rise,
Beyond the old creation bound,
And shine above the skies.
