A Song of the King's Resurrection (Psalm 16)

“This is noble encouragement to all the saints; die they must, but rise they shall, and though in their case they shall see corruption, yet they shall rise to everlasting life. Christ's resurrection is the cause, the earnest, the guarantee, and the emblem of the rising of all his people. Let them, therefore, go to their graves as to their beds, resting their flesh among the clods as they now do upon their couches.‘Since Jesus is mine, I'll not fear undressing,But gladly put off these garments of clay;To die in the Lord is a covenant blessing,Since Jesus to glory through death led the way.’"—Charles Haddon Spurgeon*poem cited by CHS,
