thirtieth - amzi chapin lyrics

and am i born to die
to lay this body down?
and must my trembling spirit fly
into a world unknown
a world of darkest shade
unpierced by human thought
the dreary regions of the dead
where all things are forgot!

soon as from earth i go
what will become of me?
eternal happiness or woe
must then my portion be:
waked by the trumpet’s sound
i from my grave shall rise
and see the judge with glory crown’d
and see the flaming skies

how shall i leave my tomb?
with triumph or regret?
a fearful, or a joyful doom
a curse or blessing meet?
shall angel*bands convey
their brother to the bar?
or devils drag my soul away
to meet its sentence there?
who can resolve the doubt
that tears my anxious breast?
shall i be with the d*mn’d cast out
or number’d with the blest?
i must from god be driven
or with my savior dwell
must come, at his command, to heaven
or else depart to h*ll

o thou who would not have
one wretched sinner die
who died thyself, my soul to save
from endless misery
shew me the way to shun
thy dreadful wrath severe
that when thou comest on the throne
i may with joy appear

thou art thyself the way:
thyself in me reveal
so shall i pass my life’s short day
obedient to thy will;
so shall i love my god
because he first loved me
and praise thee in thy bright abode
through all eternity
