Testo Idumea

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?

A land of deepest shade unpierced by human thought The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot

Soon as from Earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be

Waked by the trumpet's sound
I from my grave shall rise
To meet the judge with glory crowned And see the flaming skies
To meet the judge with glory crowned
And see the flaming skies
