Why do we mourn departing Friends?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.III (1766) 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 should 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 left a long Perfume. 4 The Graves of all his Saints he blest, And soften'd every Bed: Where should the dying Members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And shew'd our Feet the Way: Up to the Lord our Flesh 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.
