LyicsBENEATH our feet and o'er our head
Is equal warning giv'n;
Beneath us lie the countless dead,
And far above is heav'n.
Death rides on ev'ry passing breeze,
And lurks in ev'ry flow'r;
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril every hour.
Turn, sinner, turn; thy danger know:
Where'er thy foot can tread,
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee of her dead.
Turn Christian, turn: thy soul apply
To truths which hourly tell
That they who underneath thee lie
Shall live in heav'n or hell.
