428 World Unknown

Words: Charles Wesley, 1763

Music: H. S. Reese, 1859

Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down!
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?

Waked by the trumpet sound,
I from my grave shall rise;
And see the Judge with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!
