Author: Charles W. Naylor; U. E. H. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #355 Meter: 12.10.12.9 with refrain First Line: Death will come to everyone in this world of woe Refrain First Line: We’ll arise, we’ll arise, in the resurrection morn Lyrics: 1 Death will come to everyone in this world of woe,
For the sentence fell on the high and low;
All shall lie beneath the sod till the trump of God,
Bids them rise and to the judgment go.
Refrain:
We’ll arise, we’ll arise, in the resurrection morn;
We’ll arise, we’ll arise, when the Lord in glory comes;
All the righteous will ascend to their final home,
And the lost will perish forevermore;
We’ll arise, we’ll arise, in the resurrection morn.
2 Not the body that shall be is the sleeping clay,
It is as a seed that will soon decay,
But another plant shall rise toward the sunny skies,
Which shall bloom in beauty all the day. [Refrain]
3 When the Savior shall appear, He shall bring once more
All the souls that pass to the other shore;
All the sleeping bodies then shall be raised again,
And fore’er mortality be o’er. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Tune Title: [Death will come to everyone in this world of woe]
We'll Arise
