As, o’er the dead, we wail!

2. TRIO.

’Tis o’er the early dead we weep;

But peaceful is their hallow’d sleep;

And, Saviour, when thy light they see,

When from the dust they rise to thee,

How glorious shall their waking be!

3. CHORUS.

Blest leader of the bright array,

That yet shall break their cerements dread,
