'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all the saints he blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way: Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. Languages: English
