Default HARK! FROM THE TOMBS A DOLEFUL SOUND

Words: Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spir?it?u?al Songs, 1707. This hymn was sung at the fun?er?al of Amer?i?can Pres?i?dent George Washing?ton
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/f/hfttados.htm

Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound;
My ears, attend the cry;
?Ye living men, come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie.

?Princes, this clay must be your bed,
In spite of all your towers;
The tall, the wise, the rev?rend head
Must lie as low as ours!?

Great God! is this our certain doom?
And are we still secure?
Still walking downward to our tomb,
And yet prepare no more?

Grant us the powers of quick?ning grace,
To fit our souls to fly,
Then, when we drop this dying flesh,
We?ll rise above the sky.

"Rest in Peace Soldier,Amen and God bless."

Sid, what a feeling you have covered me with. If there's anyway that I can speak with Johnny's family please offer them my heart felt sympathies.
Father God, hold Johnny in your arms and love him. He did the best he could to honor and protect Your creations here among us and now You have called him to You.
Thank you Father for finally bringing him to Your peace.
