Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! A-men. 3 There grief is turned to pleasure, Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know. 4 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 5 And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Sion, in her anguish, With Babylon must cope; 6 But he whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see him Shall have him for their own. 7 The morning shall awaken, The shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. 8 There, God our King and portion, In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face. 9 O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect; O sweet and blessèd country, That eager hearts expect! 10 Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ALPHEGE
