The Death and Burial of a Saint

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #H.XXXI (1785) First Line: Why should we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why should 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 left a long perfume. 4 The graves of all His saints he blest, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And shew'd our feet the way: Up to the Lord our souls shall fly, And hail the rising day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake, ye nations, from the ground, Ye saints, ascend the skies.
