Tune: Judas Maccabaeus
('Thine be the glory')
1 Corinthians 15 v.51-58
**********
Behold, a mystery, we shall not all sleep
In death, but shall be changed, the Lord shall us keep
At the last trumpet's sound, twinkling of an eye
We shall be raised with Christ, hence no more to die
Chorus
In a moment, in twinkling of an eye
At last trumpet we shall be changed, no more die
The dead shall be raised incorruptible
We shall be changed unto beings immortal
For this corruptible state it must put on
The incorruption of Jesus, God's own Son - Chorus
And mortal must its immortality
Put on, then death be swallowed in victory
Then comes fully true, O death, where is your sting?
O grave, where your victory? Let praises ring - Chorus
The sting of death is sin, and strength of sin
Is the law, we have not kept all that therein
But thanks be to God, who gives us victory
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, ever shall it be - Chorus
Therefore, beloved, be steadfast, unmoving
Always in the work of the Lord abounding
Forasmuch as you know your labour not be
In vain, but in all things you serve the Lord, see - Chorus
