1 Corinthians 15:51, 52 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

V. 1 Soon shall the trump of God

Give out the welcome sound,

That shakes death's silent chamber walls,

And breaks the turf-sealed ground.

1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him....

V. 2 You dwellers in the dust,

Awake, come forth, and sing;

Sharp has your frost of winter been,

But bright shall be your spring.

1 Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

V. 3 'Twas sown in weakness here;

'Twill then be raised in power;

That which was sown an earthly seed

Shall rise a heav'nly flower.
