Full Lyrics
[SOLO OR UNISON]
Pilgrims on earth be reminded:
[REFRAIN]
I'm reminded today for dust I am,
And to dust I shall return;
As a pilgrim, I shall return to my home,
My Heavenly home;
As a pilgrim, I shall return to my home,
My heavenly home.
[VERSE 1]
T'is a reminder of my lowliness
And dependence on God who made me;
O God prepare me, prepare me;
Do with me what thou wilt.
[VERSE 2]
These ashes I wear is my outward sign of grief,
Sorrows of my sins and faults;
Help me to conquer my flesh O Lord.
[VERSE 3]
What if I die with my sinful heart
And lose my heav'nly home?
O my soul fight to the end.
