EN 2304 Joy and Triumph Everlasting

Isa.35.10

Versi Version 1

1

Joy and triumph everlasting

Hath the heav’nly Church on high;

For that pure immortal gladness

All our feast days mourn and sigh:

Yet in death’s dark desert wild

Doth the mother aid her child;

Guards celestial thence attend us,

Stand in combat to defend us.

2

Here the world’s perpetual warfare

Holds from Heav’n the soul apart;

Legioned foes in shadowy terror

Vex the Sabbath of the heart.

O how happy that estate

Where delight doth not abate!

For that home the spirit yearneth,

Where none languisheth nor mourneth.

3

There the body hath no torment,

There the mind is free from care,

There is every voice rejoicing,

Every heart is loving there.

Angels in that city dwell;

Them their King delighteth well:

Still they joy and weary never,

More and more desiring ever.

4

There the seers and fathers holy,

There the prophets glorified,

All their doubts and darkness ended,

In the Light of Light abide.

There the saints, whose memories old

We in faithful hymns uphold,

Have forgot their bitter story

In the joy of Jesus’ glory.
