Hark! a voice divides the sky

Hark! a voice divides the sky;Happy are the faithful dead!In the Lord who sweetly die,They from all their toils are freedThem the Spirit hath declaredBlest, unutterably blest;Jesus is their great reward,Jesus is their endless rest.

Followed by their works, they goWhere their Head is gone before;Reconciled by grace below,Grace hath opened mercy's door.Justified through faith alone,Here they knew their sins forgiven;Here they laid their burden down,Hallowed and made meet for heaven.
