And am I born to die
To lay this body down?
And as my trembling spirits fly
Into a world unknown
A land of deeper shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot
Soon as from earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be?
Waked by the trumpet’s sound
I from my grave shall rise
And see the Judge in glory crowned
And see the flaming sk
And am I born to die
To lay this body down?
And as my trembling spirits fly
Into a world unknown
A land of deeper shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot
Soon as from earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be?
Waked by the trumpet’s sound
I from my grave shall rise
And see the Judge in glory crowned
And see the flaming sk
