Lyrics for Idumea (Vocals - Shirley Collins)

And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? Waked by the trumpet sound I from the grave shall rise To see the judge in glory crowned And view the flaming skies How shall I leave the tomb? With triumph or regret? A fearful or a joyful doom? A curse or blessing meet? I must from God be driven Or with my savior dwell Must come at His command to heaven Or else depart to hell And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown?
