God's everlasting grace is ours since long before our birth, as, mountain-high, his mercy towers above this wayward earth. Before all time, a Father's love conceived our form and frame, the very dust to which we move, the dust from which we came. But hearts and minds are more than dust, to whom such love is shown; in him we live and move and trust, and look to Christ alone. We look to Christ, the Father's Son, who came to seek and save; who died and rose, our freedom won, in glory from the grave. O Christ, our dear redeeming Lord, when earthly journeys end, be then our joy, our great reward, our Advocate and Friend.
