Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #539 (1890) Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? '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.
