[O blessed hope of life to come]

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in, &c. —xv. 42.

O blessed hope of life to come,
Life which beyond the grave I see!
This body tottering o'er a tomb,
Committed to the ground shall be:
'Tis sown a corruptible seed,
A lump of putrefying clay;

39

'Tis raised immortal from the dead,
No more to moulder, or decay.
