- 1O what their joy and their glory must be,Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see;Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;God shall be all, and in all ever blest.Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,“Vision of Peace,” that brings joy evermore;Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne’er,Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
- 2There, where no troubles distraction can bring,We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praiseThy blessed people shall evermore raise.Low before Him with our praises we fall,Of Whom, and in Whom, and thru Whom are allOf Whom, the Father, and thru Whom, the Son;In Whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.Amen.
