<p>Hark! A voice divides the sky, happy are the faithful dead!<br>
In the Lord who sweetly die, they from all their toils are freed;<br>
Them the Spirit hath declared blessed, unutterably blessed;<br>
Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest.</p>
<p>Followed by their works, they go where their Head has gone before;<br>
Reconciled by grace below, grace has opened mercy&#8217;s door;<br>
Justified through faith alone, here they knew their sins forgiven,<br>
Here they laid their burden down, hallowed, and made fit for heaven.</p>
<p>Who can now lament the lot of a saint in Christ deceased?<br>
Let the world, who know us not, call us hopeless and unblessed:<br>
When from flesh the spirit freed hastens homeward to return,<br>
Mortals cry, &#8220;A man is dead!&#8221; Angels sing, &#8220;A child is born!&#8221;</p>
<p>Born into the world above, they our happy brother greet,<br>
Bear him to the throne of love, place him at the Savior&#8217;s feet;<br>
Jesus smiles, and says, &#8220;Well done, good and faithful servant thou;<br>
Enter, and receive thy crown, reign with Me triumphant now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Angels catch the approving sound, bow, and bless the just award;<br>
Hail the heir with glory crowned, now rejoicing with his Lord:<br>
Fuller joys ordained to know, waiting for the general doom,<br>
When the archangel&#8217;s trump shall blow, &#8220;Rise, ye dead, to judgment come!&#8221;</p>
