And am I born to die?

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #231 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? 2 Soon as from earth I go What will become of me? Eternal happiness or wo Must then my portion be! 3 Wak'd by the trumpet's sound, I from my grave must rise, And see the Judge with glory crown'd, And see the flaming skies. 4 How shall I leave my tomb! With triumph or regret! A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? 5 Will angel bands convey Their brother to the bar? Or devils drag my soul away To meet its sentence there? 6 Who can resolve the doubt That tears my anxious breast? Shall I be with the damn'd cast out, Or number'd with the blest? 7 I must from God be driven, Or with my Saviour dwell; Must come at his command to heaven, Or else depart to hell. 8 I thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst thyself, my soul to save From endless misery; 9 Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe, That when thou comest on thy throne, I may with joy appear.

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Sacred Harp #47b (1991) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down! And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? 2 A land of deepest shade, Unpierced by human thought; The dreary regions of the dead, Where all things are forgot! 3 Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be! 4 Waked by the trumpet sound, I from my grave shall rise; And see the Judge with glory crowned, And see the flaming skies!
