Idumea

One of my favorite hymns in the sacred harp tradition is "Idumea."

I particularly like the last verse:

Waked by the trumpet sound,
I from my grave shall rise;
And see the Judge with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!

For although in the tradition this obviously refers to the Christian view of the afterlife, the power and enthusiasm we usually muster when singing it calls us to wake now and live fully, to experience with all our senses all that life has to offer even as we are using our voices and ears to their utmost at that moment!
