MASKELL

 Is this the case that all must die 
 And death no age cloth spare 
 Then let each one to Jesus fly 
 And seek for refuge there

 While pity prevents the rising sigh 
 Oh may this truth impart
 With awful power I too must die 
 Sink deep in every breast
 Happy infants early bless'd
 Rest in peaceful slumber rest 

 Thee we call our own no more
 died has snatched thee from our arms
 Heaven shall give thee brighter charms 

 The just shall wake & sing
 O grave where is thy power
 O death where is thy sting 

 And take your rest
 God took you away
 He thought it best

 Till the last trumpet joyful sound
 Then burst the chains with sweet surprise 
 And in his Saviours image rise
