Genesis 3:19: Bow me to my God's decree
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
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.
