To the tune ODE TO JOY:

After all the world's unravelling,
lo! we shall be knit again.
Dust that once from stars came travelling
with a brighter light shall shine.
Soul and body, joined together,
joy that never more they'll part,
but with angel choirs forever
shall rejoice the Savior's heart.

Christ, who took the flesh he gave us,
that same flesh he will renew.
He who knows our bodies' fading
all their deaths he shall undo.
Every tear drawn from our sorrow
he shall wipe from new-woke eyes
in his ever-dawning morrow,
when from every grave we rise.

Bone and sinew, skin and muscle:
hands remade we lift to him.
Long-stilled hearts begin to thunder
with the rhythm of our hymn.
Breath that we had held for ages
now at last begins to sing:
Vocal chords form heaven's praises.
We shall welcome Christ our King!
