When they pass through the tronbld scenes ofl;Ee.
TO a higher and happier homo.
they shall hear the trunipet's fearful blast,
When il breaks the sleep of the tomb;
They siIa hear the righteous Judge declare
To the faithful, their blessed doom.
And the conqueror's shout, and The ~ransomea Is song
On their raptured ears shall fall,
Aud the tongue of the dumb. in the chorus Of praise.
Shall be higher and louder than all.
