512 The Spirit Shall Return

Words: Holy Bible: Ecclesiastes

Music: J. Elmer Kitchens, 1959

Meter: Prose

When the sun, or the light,
Or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened,
Or the clouds return after the rain,
Or the silver cord be loosed,
Then shall the dust return
To the earth as it was,
And the spirit shall return
To God who gave it.
