Triumph over death, Job 19. 25-27

Summary

Triumph over death, Job 19. 25-27 by Isaac Watts (1707) is presented here as a complete poem for reading aloud and memorization. The hosted edition preserves stanza spacing for recitation practice. Students should watch how images and turns unfold across its lines rather than reducing the poem to a single slogan. The chooser treats this as a standalone poem cut cleanly from its parent volume for reading and print. Grade band 3-5 is editorial guidance for chooser filters. Themes for study include faith-religion, art-creation. Classical Christian use means judging the speaker’s loves and fears by received moral truth while still hearing the poem’s art. Use the print-friendly page so line breaks match the reader; estimated speaking time on the chooser is approximate only.
