+{{LinkText|And must this body die}}
-And must this body die?
-This mortal frame decay?
-And must these active limbs of mine
-Lie mould'ring in the clay?
-Corruption, earth, and worms
-Shall but refine this flesh,
-Till my triumphant spirit comes
-To put it on afresh.
-God my Redeemer lives,
-And often from the skies
-Looks down, and watches all my dust,
-Till He shall bid it rise.
-Arrayed in glorious grace
-Shall these vile bodies shine,
-And every shape, and every face,
-Look heav'nly and divine.
-These lively hopes we owe
-To Jesus' dying love;
-We would adore His grace below,
-And sing His power above.
-Dear Lord, accept the praise
-Of these our humble songs,
-Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
-With our immortal tongues.
