SONG LYRICS:

And am I born to die,
to lay this body down
and must my tremblin’ spirit fly
into a world unknown.

Soon as from earth I go.
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
must then my portion be?

A land of deepest shade,
unpierced by human thought,
the dreary regions of the dead
where all things are forgot.

Waked by the trumpet's sound
I from my grave shall rise
and see the Judge with glory crowned
