"Hark, from the Tomb" is a hymn sung as an American folk and blues song in the United States.
The words may have first been put down by English hymn writer Isaac Watts.
[1] It was sung in America by the 19th century or earlier, as a Kentucky minister described it in a memoir published 1888 as being sung by the line leader of a slave coffle in that state.
[5] The title of the hymn appears in a piece of dialogue in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and was borrowed from there into Finnegans Wake.
