John 11:43: He cried with a loud voice

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

When the' almighty Jesus cries,
Hears the soul in paradise,
Hastes the summons to obey,
Reassumes his mortal clay,
To our dying life restored.
Lives again to serve his Lord.

All that voice of God shall hear.
All forsake the sepulchre.
Put again their bodies on.
Stand arraign'd before the throne;
Then the awful Judge we see,
Now, my God, He pleads for me.
