XLVI. Resurrection of the Saints

1 And must this Body die?
This Mortal Frame decay?
And must these active Limbs of mine
Lie mould'ring in the Clay?
God my Redeemer lives,
And often from the Skies
Looks down, and watches all my Dust,
'Till he shall bid it rise.

2 Array'd in glorious Grace
Shall these vile Bodies shine,
And ev'ry Shape and ev'ry Face,
Look heav'nly and divine.
These lively Hopes we owe
To Jesus's dying Love;
We would adore thy Grace below,
And sing thy Pow'r above.

3 Dear Lord, accept the Praise
Of these our humble Songs,
'Till Tunes of nobler Sound we raise
With our immortal Tongues.
