==Lyrics from [[A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841]]==<br />
<pre>Hymn 216<br />
C.M.<br />
1. Heav'n has confirmed the dread decree<br />
That Adam's race must die:<br />
One general ruin sweeps them down,<br />
And low in dust they lie.<br />
<br />
2. Ye living men, the tomb survey,<br />
Where you must shortly dwell;<br />
Hark! how the awful summons sounds,<br />
In ev'ry funeral knell!<br />
<br />
3. Once you must die—and once for all—<br />
The solemn purport weigh:<br />
For know, that heaven or hell is hung<br />
On that important day!<br />
<br />
4. Those eyes, so long in darkness veiled,<br />
Must wake, the Judge to see;<br />
And every word—and every thought:—<br />
Must pass his scrutiny.<br />
<br />
5. Oh may I in the Judge behold<br />
My Savior and my Friend;<br />
And, far beyond the reach of death<br />
With all his saints ascend.</pre><br />
