Henry Purcell (1659-1695) Harmonia Sacra (1688) William Fuller
Awake, Awake Ye Dead, the trumpet calls: Awake, Awake Ye Dead, to sleep no more: Hark! from aloft the frozen region falls, With noise so loud it deafs the ocean's roar; Alarm'd, amaz'd, the clatt'ring orbs come down. The virtuous soul alone appears Unmov'd while earth's foundations shake, Ascends and mocks the universal wreck.
