The Bodies of the saints quickened and raised by the Spirit

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DLXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Why should our mourning thoughts delight Lyrics: 1 Why should our mourning thoughts delight, To grovel in the dust? Or why should streams of tears unite Around th' expiring just. 2 Did not the Lord our savior die, And triumph o'er the grave? Did not our Lord ascend on high, And prove his power to save? 3 Doth not the sacred spirit come, And dwell in all the saints? And should the temples of his grace Resound with long complaints? 4 Awake, my soul, and like the sun Burst thro' each sable cloud; And thou, my voice, tho' broke with sighs, Tune forth thy songs aloud. 5 The spirit rais'd my Savior up, When he had bled for me; And, spite his death and hell, shall rise Thy pious friends and thee. 6 Awake, ye saints, that dwell in dust, Your hymns of victory sing? And let his dying servants trust Their ever-living king. Topics: The Resurrection of the Body; Resurrection Of The Body Scripture: Romans 8:11 Languages: English
