EN 5188 When Musing Sorrow Weeps the Past
Phil.1.21
Versi Version 1
1
When musing sorrow weeps the past,
And mourns the present pain,
’Tis sweet to think of peace at last,
And feel that death is gain.
2
’Tis not that murmuring thoughts arise,
And dread a Father’s will,
’Tis not that meek submission flies,
And would not suffer still:
3
It is that heaven-born faith surveys
The path that leads to light,
And longs her eagle plumes to raise,
And lose herself in sight:
4
It is that hope with ardor glows,
To see Him face to face,
Whose dying love no language knows
Sufficient art to trace.
5
O let me wing my hallowed flight
From earthborn woe and care,
And soar above these clouds of night,
My Savior’s bliss to share!
