from William Walker's "The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion"

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.

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.

Then let the last loud trumpet sound,

And bid our kindred rise;

Awake, ye nations under ground;

Ye saints, ascend the skies.
