<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’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, “A man is dead!” Angels sing, “A child is born!”</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’s feet;<br>
|
|
Jesus smiles, and says, “Well done, good and faithful servant thou;<br>
|
|
Enter, and receive thy crown, reign with Me triumphant now.”</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’s trump shall blow, “Rise, ye dead, to judgment come!”</p>
