¶Lyrics / Text

Awake, awake, ye dead, the trumpet calls, Awake, awake, to sleep no more; Hark! from aloft the frozen region falls, With noise so loud it deafs the ocean's roar; Alarm'd, amaz'd the clatt'ring orbs come down. The virtuous soul alone appears, Unmov'd, while earth's foundations shake, Ascends, and mocks the universal wreck.
