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 my grave shall rise
To see the Judge in glory crowned
And view 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 Savior dwell
Must go at his command to Heaven
Or 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?
