Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866; Peter Abelard, 1079-1142 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #337 (1978) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Book of Worship First Line: Oh, what their joy and their glory must be Lyrics: 1 Oh, what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see!
Crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2 In new Jerusalem joy shall be found,
Blessings of peace shall forever abound;
Wish and fufillment are not severed there,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 We, where no trouble distraction can bring,
Safely the anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for your grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Your blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Now let us worship our Lord and our King,
Joyfully raising our voices to sing:
Praise to the Father, and praise to the Son,
Praise to the Spirit, to God, Three in One. Topics: Christian Hope; All Saints' Day; Burial; Christian Hope; Life Everlasting Languages: English Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA
