Dust to dust, we face our sentence
1 Dust to dust, we face our sentence,
entering a guilty plea;
ash to ash declares repentance,
sin confessed for all to see.
Now these signs of all our falls from grace,
mark us for divine embrace.
2 Dust of earth once shaped and moulded
into this, our human frame,
body, mind and soul enfolded,
given life and called by name.
Now, O Lord, remake our damaged form,
hold us till our hearts grow warm.
