John 11:17: Parted from God the soul is dead
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Parted from God the soul is dead.
Buried alive the graceless soul.
His conscience as with worms o'erspread.
No sepulchre is half so foul!
The poor habitual sinner lies,
Long dead in trespasses and sins;
And cannot wake and cannot rise,
Till call'd by life's immortal Prince.
