Not to Ourselves Who are But Dust { Not to Ourselves Who are But Dust TRURO-Thomas John Williams, Psalmodia Evangelica, 1789 Not to Ourselves, Who are But Dust } Not to ourselves, who are but dust, Not to ourselves is glory due; Eternal God! thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise and true! The God we serve maintains his throne, Above the clouds, beyond the skies: Through all the earth his will is done; He knows our groans, he hears our cries. O Israel! make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, And bless the people and the priest. The dead no more can speak thy praise, They dwell in silence in the grave; But we shall live to sing thy grace, And tell the world thy power to save.
