Why do we mourn departing friends

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #542 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 their 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!
