Why do we mourn departing friends,<br>
Or shake at death's alarms?<br>
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends<br>
To call them to his arms.<br>
 
Are we not tending upward too<br>
As fast as time can move?<br>
Nor would we wish the hours more slow<br>
To keep us from our love.<br>
Why should we tremble to convey<br>
Their bodies to the tomb?<br>
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,<br>
And left a long perfume.<br>
The graves of all his saints he blessed,<br>
And softened every bed;<br>
Where should the dying members rest,<br>
But with the dying Head?<br>
Thence he arose, ascending high,<br>
And showed our feet the way;<br>
Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly,<br>
At the great rising day.<br>
 
Then let the last loud trumpet sound,<br>
And bid our kindred rise;<br>
Awake, ye nations under ground;<br>
Ye saints, ascend the skies.
