Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS) Text Sources: Based on St. Augustine, F. B. P., cir. XVI cent.

A-men. 3 Bright with pearls her portals glitter, They are open evermore; And, by virtue of his merits, Thither faithful souls may soar Who for Christ's dear Name in this world Pain and tribulation bore. 4 Many a blow and biting sculpture Fashioned well those stones elect, In their places now compacted By the heavenly architect, Who therewith hath willed for ever That his palace should be decked. 5 Laud and honor to the Father; Laud and honor to the Son; Laud and honor to the Spirit; Ever Three and ever One: Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run.
