CCCXLVIII. Death and Resurrection

1 Ye Sons of Pride, that hate the Just
And trample on the Poor,
When Death has brought you down to Dust,
Your Pomp shall rise no more.

2 The last great Day shall change the Scene;
When will that Hour appear?
When shall the Just revive, and reign
O'er all that scorn'd them here?

3 God will my naked Soul receive,
When sep'rate from the Flesh;
And break the Prison of the Grave,
To raise my Bones afresh.

4 Heav'n is my everlasting Home,
Th' inheritance is sure:
Let Men of Pride their Rage resume,
But I'll Repine no more.
