"We are confident"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #574 (1888) Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:14 First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do 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 scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all the saints he blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms. 2 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? 'Twas there the bleeding Saviour lay, And left a rich perfume. 3 Thence he arose, and, upward borne, In triumph led the way; The sleeping saints, at his return, Shall hail the glorious day. 4 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? And can we wish the hours more slow That keep us from our Love? 5 Soon shall the last loud trumpet sound, And bid the saints arise; Millions shall leave the trembling ground, And mount the lofty skies.
