In "The First Part of the Tragedy", what is Faust's attitude towards death?

At the start of the play, Faust is in deep despair wondering why he was not able to get though to Wagner. He also doubts his relationship with God. He feels that he is a worm rather than a creature made in God's image. Faust finally decides the call of dust, or death, is stronger than that of life. He is on the verge of drinking poison when he hears the songs of Easter morning. Although Faust fights against the influence of the hymns being sung, he finds his faith being renewed by the choruses.
