Beneath Our Feet And O'er Our Head

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9588 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Beneath our feet and o’er our head Lyrics: 1 Beneath our feet and o’er our head Is equal warning given; Beneath us lie the countless dead, Above us is the heaven. 2 Their names are graven on the stone; Their bones are in the clay; And, ere another day is gone, Ourselves may be as they. 3 Death rides on every passing breeze, He lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease, Its peril every hour. 4 Our eyes have seen the rosy light Of youth’s soft cheek decay, And clouds descend in sudden night On manhood’s middle day. 5 Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly toward the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dreams of days to come? 6 Turn, mortal, turn, thy danger know; Where’er thy feet can tread, The earth rings hollow from below, And warns thee of her dead. 7 Turn, Christian, turn, thy soul apply To truths divinely given; The bones that underneath thee lie Shall live for hell or Heaven.
