The Resurrection from the Grave

By Chalmers

DEATH still lays us in the grave, but it cannot chain us there to everlasting forgetfulness; it puts its cold hand on every one of us, but a power higher than death will lift it off, and these forms be again re-animated with all the warmth of life and of sentiment. The church-yard has been called the land of silence (and silent it is indeed to them who occupy it) but though remote from the hearing of every earthly sound, yet shall the sound of the last trumpet enter the loneliness of their dwelling, and be heard through earth's remotest caverns.—Chalmers.
