And am I born to die
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?

Waked by the trumpet's sound
I from the grave shall rise
To the Judge with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies

How shall I leave the tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom?
A curse or blessing meet?

I must from God be driven
Or with my Saviour dwell
Must come at His command to Heaven
Ore else depart to Hell

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
