The text for this hymn was written by Issac Watts (1719); the tune is taken from W. Walker's Southern Harmony (1835).

the goal of dust of the saints:
Dust represents our humanity and is a confession that we're part of creation; remember, "you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:24). The saints represent the creative potential for all to share in abundant life, to arise from the dust.
