LyicsWhy do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death's alarms?
Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to his arms,
To call them to his arms.
Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb?
Twas there the flesh of Jesus lay,
Twas there the flesh of Jesus lay.
And left along perfume,
And left along perfume.
Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise:
Awake, ye nations underground,
Awake, ye nations underground;
Ye saints, ascend the skies,
Ye saints, ascend the skies.
