These lyrics from Isaac Watts were included in the description of the video you shared. They are deserving of our meditation at the dawning of a new year...

Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound;​
My ears, attend the cry;​
"Ye living men, come view the ground​
Where you must shortly lie.​
"Princes, this clay must be your bed,​
In spite of all your towers;​
The tall, the wise, the rev'rend head​
Must lie as low as ours!"​
Great God! is this our certain doom?​
And are we still secure?​
Still walking downward to our tomb,​
And yet prepare no more?​
Grant us the powers of quick'ning grace,​
To fit our souls to fly,​
Then, when we drop this dying flesh,​
We'll rise above the sky.​
Isaac Watts, (Hymn 63, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book II.)​

I happy you liked the vid. I took those pics locally and was captured by the lyrics Watts wrote so many years ago....where I got the idea.

Watching this video, all can think about is how hard it would be to have an instrument in-tune in those conditions, but I digress.
